Welcome to the wikiwarehouse of SustainUS policy documents from Agents of Change programs. Since 2003, Agents of Change has brought delegations of U.S. based youth to conferences and summits related to international sustainability policy, primarily at the United Nations. The young people in our delegations work with government delegates, fellow civil society members, and other youth to promote youth-friendly and future-focused policies. Please follow the Policy Statement Template if you're going to create a new policy document for SustainUS. If you have any questions about how to use this wiki, feel free to contact our Member Communications Coordinator. Policies developed by previous SustainUS delegations are listed below for reference. First listed is the delegation's introductory text, followed by an outline of policy areas.
