The United People Global (UPG) Sustainability Leadership Program 2023 is now accepting applications. UPG Sustainability Leadership is the world's most extensive sustainability leadership development program, and applications for the Class of 2023 are now open.

UPG Sustainability Leaders are trained in both the methods and the issues of sustainability to become ambassadors for positive citizen leadership on the subject. Several incentives are built into the application process to ensure that the Class of 2023 is as diverse as it is impactful, such as encouraging young people who work in organizations that care about sustainability to apply - as well as many other demographic groups.

• Participants will have the costs of the program covered – Training material.  Accommodation, subsistence, local transportation, international flights (a round trip flight from the participant’s hometown to the US);

• All 500 participants will receive online training and be certified as UPG Sustainability Leaders after completing the course.

P.S: Visas are not included in the program's costs, and selected applicants are responsible for covering these expenses. UPG will send visa application letters to assist with the process (if necessary).
