Agents of Change Program:
United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development


SustainUS Commission on Sustainable Development delegates

Since 2001, SustainUS has been advocating for sustainable development policies at the United Nations. The Agents of Change program started out as a group of committed young people attending the Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD). Today, spots on our CSD delegation continue to be our most competitive. This Commission is structured in two-year cycles, comprised of a 'review' year and a 'policy' year, each dealing with different thematic issues.
