The annual UNA-USA Global Engagement Summit (GES) unites 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 come together to sit in the seats of decisionmakers. The theme for GES 2024 is “Pushing Forward >>> For People & Planet.”

GES will also feature a Sustainable Fashion Showcase in collaboration with the UN Alliance for Sustainable Fashion. The showcase will include contributions from companies and fashion designers, emphasizing sustainability.

This full day summit, held from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m., 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.
