UPG Sustainability Leadership is an initiative that mobilizes individuals and organizations to contribute to positive citizen leadership on sustainability. This movement encourages citizens at all levels of society to take positive action and enables them to achieve their goals. A movement inspired by the UPG’s commitment to do what we can with what we have, rather than wait for someone else to act. This is a movement that promotes the idea that everyone can contribute to making the world a more sustainable place.
The United People Global believes that sustainability includes BOTH the usual “green” issues such as planting trees, recycling waste, managing energy, protecting the oceans AND other issues that have been central to our societies for a long time such as: education, health, jobs, gender equality, sustainable consumption, sustainable production and more. For those who are familiar with it, UPG uses the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a guide. The flagship activity is the #UPGSustainability Leadership training program for 500+ young adults from across the globe every year. There are also activities for schools and institutions as well as for companies.
