Zeynep Bilgehan

Dear Delegates,

My name is Zeynep Bilgehan, and I am honoured to serve as the Chair of the Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) at this year’s conference. I am a first-year student at Istanbul Technical University, Faculty of Management. Having actively participated in Model United Nations conferences for several years, I believe these platforms play a vital role in cultivating critical thinking, public speaking, and collaborative problem-solving — skills that extend far beyond the committee room.

This year, ECOSOC will address two timely and significant agenda items:
Agenda A: The Future of Labour in the Digital Economy: Automation, Artificial Intelligence, and the Transformation of the Global Workforce
Agenda B: Global Taxation of Multinational Corporations and Its Impact on the Economic Policies of Sovereign States

As the United Nations’ primary body for coordinating international economic and social policy, ECOSOC is uniquely positioned to address these complex, interrelated challenges. From navigating workforce disruptions caused by technological advancement to rethinking global tax justice and economic sovereignty, our committee offers a space to explore dynamic, cooperative and forward-thinking solutions..
As Chair, my priority is to foster an environment of respect, academic integrity, and meaningful dialogue. I encourage you all to approach these discussions with an open mind, critical thinking and a spirit of diplomacy.

Please do not hesitate to reach out with any questions prior to or during the conference. I look forward to the insight, energy, and excellence you will bring to this committee.

Sincerely,
Zeynep Bilgehan
Chair of ECOSOC

Agenda Item B:

About the committee

The United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC) serves as the principal UN body responsible for coordinating international economic and social policies. It plays a crucial role in shaping global development strategies, fostering economic cooperation, and addressing pressing social issues. ECOSOC engages with a diverse array of stakeholders, including governments, civil society organizations, and private sector entities, to develop sustainable solutions that promote economic growth, social equity, and environmental responsibility.

For this session, ECOSOC will focus on two major issues shaping the global economic landscape. The first agenda, The Future of Labor in the Digital Economy: Automation, Artificial Intelligence, and the Transformation of the Global Workforce, will explore the profound impact of technological advancements on employment. As automation and artificial intelligence redefine traditional labor markets, policymakers must address challenges related to job displacement, skills development, and labor rights. This discussion will examine strategies to create resilient labor markets, ensure equitable access to new economic opportunities, and protect workers’ rights in an increasingly digital world.

The second agenda, Global Taxation of Multinational Corporations and Its Impact on the Economic Policies of Sovereign States, will investigate the complexities of international tax regulations. As multinational corporations operate across borders, many leverage tax loopholes to minimize their contributions to national economies. This debate will focus on efforts to establish fair and effective global taxation frameworks, the impact of corporate tax policies on developing economies, and the role of international institutions in fostering economic justice.

Through collaborative policymaking and diplomatic negotiations, ECOSOC seeks to develop forward-thinking solutions that balance economic growth, technological innovation, and social responsibility for a more sustainable and inclusive global economy.
