How to write a position paper

Turn your research into a clear, supported committee position.

Follow the published requirements

Check the conference’s instructions for length, structure, references and submission. There is no single template that applies to every committee.

Explain the issue and your position

Briefly identify the problem and why it matters to the country or perspective you represent. Use relevant evidence. Make the relationship between the topic and your position clear.

Connect policy with proposals

Explain relevant past action or stated policy, then propose a response your committee can discuss. Consider feasibility, responsibilities and possible partners. Avoid promising action beyond the committee’s role.

Review for clarity

Ask whether every paragraph helps a reader understand your position. Check sources, remove repetition and distinguish your proposals from verified past decisions. A position paper should prepare you for dialogue.

There is a place for you at the table.

A student. A teacher. A school. A world of possibilities.
