Actress Bhumi Pednekar has praised UNDP India for its efforts to empower young people in advancing the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). She called the initiative a significant step towards building a more inclusive and sustainable future.  Pednekar, UNDP India National Advocate for the SDGs, shared, “This initiative is a game-changing moment. Today’s youth are informed, passionate, and committed to building a better world.

Through this partnership, we are creating a platform where their vision and energy can drive sustainable action and impact at scale.”  The United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) India has teamed up with Collective Artists Network India Pvt. Ltd. to boost youth involvement in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).  The partnership aims to spark meaningful conversations on important global issues like climate change, gender equality, poverty, and inclusive development. 

Talking about the partnership, Dr. Angela Lusigi, Resident Representative, UNDP India, stated, “This partnership is a step forward in empowering young people to become active change-makers. Across India, youth are not only raising their voices for change - they are leading it. Whether it's championing climate action, advocating for gender equity, or creating inclusive opportunities, their work is shaping the future. With Collective Artists Network, we can amplify these efforts, ensuring that stories of youth leadership resonate from urban centres to rural communities.”
