Our Values
UR’s actions and impact operate around six values to make a positive impact in each being and the world.
Contributing to the following UN SDGs

United Rising (UR) embraces the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) outlined in the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda. Our primary objective is to advocate for a framework that prioritizes fundamental human rights for all individuals and respects the rights of nature.
While we endorse the current objectives, we contend that the principle of sustainable development must be urgently redefined to achieve greater harmony and well-being worldwide, rather than adhering to an incessant growth-centric blueprint that jeopardizes the needs of both the present and future generations.
