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.
