Recruiting Organization: US Coalition on Sustainability

The US Coalition on Sustainability is on a simple mission, to accelerate progress on achieving the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals. We’re here to unify efforts and help drive unprecedented levels of collective action. We’re a non-profit that thinks and moves like a high-growth start-up. We are unleashing the full power of modern technology, data, human behavior, and industry insight and leadership to drive sustainability, NOW. Consumers are demanding it. Innovators are working on it. Brands are moving. The world is primed and ready for it. We must pick up the pace.

We launched SustainChain™ at the UN General Assembly in September. This systems-based technology platform designed to match and support peer-to-peer collaboration and propagate joint action based on common sustainability goals and challenges. At its core, it is designed to empower sustainability change-makers, the warriors in our battle against time. It is time to unify efforts and bring the full collective power and intelligence of the sustainability community to bear - practitioners, sustainability innovators, and social investors, alike.

Let’s go farther, faster, together.

Whether you’re interested in research, data science, outreach, event planning, public relations, social media, and collective action, we are seeking volunteers to help drive awareness and adoption of the recently released technology platform, SustainChain™ Join our incredible team on this exciting and critical journey and be part of the revolution as we harness the power of technology to move the needle in the decade of action!
