The annual UNA-USA Global Engagement Summit (GES) united world leaders with our nation’s top grassroots changemakers. Held at UN Headquarters in New York, more than 1,000 community leaders, students, lifetime advocates, and young professionals from across the country came together to sit in the seats of decisionmakers. The theme for GES 2024 is “Pushing Forward >>> For People & Planet.”
GES also featured a Sustainable Fashion Showcase in collaboration with the UN Alliance for Sustainable Fashion. The showcase included contributions from companies and fashion designers, emphasizing sustainability.
This summit is one of many educational and inspirational programs that UNA-USA coordinates to help make Americans aware of the strong connection between the U.S. and the UN.
