Finding Your Purpose Through a Sustainable Development Career

In this episode of the Sustainable Ambassador Podcast, we speak with Preity Gurung, a passionate young processional who found her purpose through a career in sustainable development.

As a Program Officer at the Center for Indigenous Peoples’ Research and Development (CIPRED), Preity shares her journey from intern to field leader, working to preserve the knowledge, culture, and customary practices of indigenous communities facing the mounting pressures of climate change, displacement, and marginalization.

Through our conversation, we spoke about the need for communities to have self-determined development, how traditional knowledge systems contribute to climate resilience, and her reflections on the value of working directly with communities to influence policy and create lasting impact.
