SustainUS: U.S. Youth for Sustainable Development

SustainUS at CSocD 45

Emily and Lauren talk to the Moroccan delegation

SustainUS is currently attending the United Nations 45th comission on Social Development, thanks to Citizens Network for Sustainable Development, Global Youth Action Network, and the SustainUS Donors. So far we've engaged national and international delegates, participated in open discussions, and have had a great time doing so. You can check our progress on the Agents of Change blog, and check out photos from the trip.

We've got a week left, and many plans, so lets see what we can get done. To contact the group, please email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .
