UPG Sustainability Leadership Program 2022

This is a movement that encourages and enables citizens at all levels to take positive action. A movement inspired by the UPG’s commitment to using what we have to do what we can, rather than wait for someone else to act. It is a movement that carries the notion that everyone can do something to make the world a more sustainable place.

The UPG believes that sustainability includes BOTH the usual “green” issues such as planting trees, recycling waste, managing energy, protecting the oceans (i.e protecting the ecosystem), 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, the UPG uses the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) as a useful guide.

The flagship activity is the #UPGSustainability Leadership training program created for 500+ young adults from across the globe every year. There are also activities for schools and institutions as well as for companies.
