The United People Global Sustainability Leadership Programme says it is equipping young leaders with the skills and inspiration needed to drive meaningful action toward the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. 

These goals, according to the organisation, represent a global commitment to ending poverty, protecting the environment, and fostering peace and prosperity for all by 2030.

As part of its innovative certification pathway, the program encourages each participant to nominate a journalist or storyteller. This unique approach aims to amplify the voices and journeys of UPG’s vibrant community, sharing compelling stories of sustainability efforts through articles, human-interest features, or creative content published online or in print.

One standout group within the programme, Tribe 09 – Wave of Change, exemplifies the spirit of bold ideas and collaborative action. Known for their passion and dedication, Tribe 09 members tackle pressing local challenges with a global perspective. 

Their projects span climate education, clean energy initiatives, and social equity, all driven by a “think globally, act locally” philosophy.

It was this tribe that introduced UPG to a journalist, marking a significant step in broadening the reach of their sustainability narratives. Tribe 09 continues to serve as a beacon of innovation and service, inspiring change not only within the UPG community but also across their local communities and beyond.

Through initiatives like the Sustainability Leadership Programme and the involvement of storytellers, United People Global is fostering a powerful network of changemakers and communicators dedicated to shaping a sustainable future for all.
