Become a UPG Sustainability Leader – Application FormIf you are human, leave this field blank.Thank you for applying to be a UPG Sustainability Leader.In 2019 we successfully trained 60 UPG Sustainability Leaders from 30 countries around the world. They have gone on to train over 4,000 individuals (and counting) and to implement local projects within their communities. You can learn more on the website (https://upglive.org/UPGSustainability). We are thrilled and ready to train the next class of ambassadors and warriors for positive citizen leadership on sustainability. If this may be you, or someone that you know, then please read on and/or share the link to this application page.
What we are looking for:
We are building a diverse group of people who want to take positive action that helps the world tackle our sustainability challenge. UPG agrees that sustainability includes BOTH the usual “green” issues such as planting trees, recycling waste, managing energy, protecting the oceans AND it also includes 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.
Diversity among UPG Sustainability Leaders
UPG Sustainability Leaders include:
– people who are passionate in a specific area (e.g. jobs or education or oceans), there is no need to be passionate in all areas.
– people who have already taken action related to sustainability AND people who have NEVER taken action
– people from all world regions
– people aged 18 to 35
– people of different levels of education
– people who have a strong motivation to to be UPG Sustainability Leaders
– people who are willing and able to take action on sustainability
– people who believe in UPG’s mission to empower people to make the world a better place through positive action.
Finally this diversity means that everyone stands a chance when we make the selection of the final UPG Sustainability Leaders.Evaluation Guidance:
