United Nations Association - Eastbourne

The Eastbourne UNA serves to engage the local community with the aspirations and achievements of the United Nations through regular local meetings and events. Over the years the focus of our branch's work has often reflected the changing priorities of the UN, and for this reason today we have a strong commitment to supporting the Sustainable Development Goals, in particular those relating to the consequences of climate change.

Since 2003 our branch has developed strong links with Uganda and since 2022 with Bangladesh to promote our two key projects: The Mvule Project for Carbon Capture in Uganda, and the Hijol-Karoch tree planting programme in Bangladesh.Such links are vital for us to understand the immense challenges facing developing countries and for us to know our responsibilities for mutual international support,  allowing us to meet our UK responsibilities to address our own CO2 emissions many of which are outsourced overseas.

All our meetings are open and free to the public. We are happy to welcome new members to our branch who share our values and wish to support the UN's 17 Sustainable Development Goals. For full details of our work visit our website.
