United People Global (UPG) Sustainability Leadership Class of 2023
Deadline: 31st of December, 2022
A movement called UPG Sustainability Leadership mobilizes people and organizations to support sustainable citizen leadership.
It is a movement that supports and empowers people at all levels of society to take constructive action. a movement motivated by the UPG’s pledge to act now while we still can rather than postponing action until someone else steps forward. It is a movement that personifies the idea that everyone can take action to improve sustainability in the world.
