Renewable energy is the key to saving our planet from the increasing carbon emissions in the atmosphere from the burning of fossil fuels. Carbon pricing may be the ultimate means to achieving our goals.
NGO Sustainability is an advocacy and awareness-raising organization in the areas of sustainability, renewable energy, and climate change. We include in this the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the Paris Climate Change Agreement (2015), and the Glasgow COP26 Agreements, the UN Ocean Conference (June, 2022), and Sharm el-Sheikh COP 27 promoting sustainable development and renewable energy. Our mission is to help preserve Planet Earth for future generations by empowering citizens and contacting government representatives to implement sustainable practices and raise awareness.
NGO Sustainability promotes a three-dimensional vision of sustainable development that integrates environmental, economic, and social factors.
In a field as complex as sustainable development, our organization seeks to create an understanding of how the United Nations approaches these three factors to create a unified global goal. We do this by regularly hosting meetings with guest speakers at the U.N. Headquarters, New York, dealing with such issues as renewable energy, climate change, water management, and environmental governance.
