Our fundamental goal is to uphold the protection of our planet and those who defend it, fostering a more just and equitable future. We embody a holistic and intersectional perspective that illuminates the nuanced experiences of diverse communities.

We believe that addressing our current needs, as well as those of future generations, is inextricably linked to the health of our environment. Ensuring sustainability and justice requires a comprehensive approach that considers environmental integrity alongside social equity. By integrating these elements, we strive to create a resilient and thriving world for all.

UR is dedicated to the integration of intersectionality within our four
working pillars and general approach. By doing so, we endeavour to
cultivate impactful and effective solutions that foster reciprocal care
for individuals and the environment, all while actively addressing
and mitigating inequalities.

Collaboration over Competition

United Rising stands for collective actions toward the promotion of global welfare.From a state of rivalry whereby citizens, firms and public entities compete for the acquisition of resources and power, UR believes in harmonized actions, worldwide cohesion and collaboration toward common targets. Long-desired welfare will only arise when aligning common values with the maximization of human resources, including legislation, technology and innovation.

Inclusivity over Marginalization

UR aims to uphold inclusivity rather than marginalization as the main hindrance to a fair and efficient system. We promote the integration of global needs beyond the mere individual, national, and continental barriers. This implies an understanding of the interconnection of our planetary issues beyond our individual frontiers. We believe in inclusive governance which considers each category of our society including vulnerable groups, the environment, and animals – all essential for the wellbeing of the planet.

Long-term Approach and Solution

It is essential to have a long-term and regenerative approach to sustainability in order to ensure that the progress accomplished today will be maintained in the future. This also entails examining not only the impact of our activities on the current generation but also the effects on future generations. We advocate for an integrated approach to sustainability fostering the the development of systems that not only prevent harm but also actively enhance the environment, communities and economy on which they rely.

Holistic Blueprint to Sustainability

Fostering longevity and sustainability requires a planetary consciousness that recognizes the interdependence of all life on Earth and realizes we are not separate from the natural world – rather, an integral part of it. By viewing the world as a complex system of interconnected ecological, social, and economic systems, we can develop policies and practices that promote the well-being of the planet and the life it supports. UR recognizes the interconnection between global resource management and paramount challenges. To efficiently tackle these subjects, a holistic and interdisciplinary approach is fundamental.
