Submitted during the Launch of the UN Economic & Social Council's 2026 High-Level Forum on Sustainable Development in New York City
In keeping with our UN ECOSOC 'Special Consultative Status,‘ the Nightingale Initiative for Global Health (NIGH) is honored to respectfully submit this White Paper--The VOICE of Nursing’s Future—Elevating Student Nurses as Leaders for Health, Equity and Sustainable Development—for the consideration of the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC)— and launched during the 2026 United Nations High-Level Political Forum on Sustainable Development, July 7-15 in New York City.
The nursing profession is indispensable to realizing the global commitment to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Representing an estimated 30 million professionals worldwide, nurses are the backbone of health systems and |
|
essential contributors to universal health coverage, health equity, humanitarian response, and sustainable development. Yet one of the world's greatest untapped resources remains the voice and leadership potential of student nurses—the future gatekeepers of global health.
Derived from our 2024-2025 Student Nurses’ Voices Speaker Series, this White Paper presents a compelling case for recognizing student nurses not only as future members of the health workforce, but as current stakeholders whose lived experiences, innovative thinking, and commitment to social justice can strengthen health governance and accelerate progress toward the SDGs.

Our Awesome Planetary Health
Virtual Global Conference Premiering the “Florence of Arabia’ Video
by Dr. Mona Said El-Sherbini |
We are helping at risk mothers and newborns and the midwives & nurses who serve with our innovative project called CAMNHA >>>
|
|
Planetary Health is the understanding that human health and the health of Earth's natural systems are deeply inter- connected. In simple terms. For nurses and midwives, this connection means understanding that climate change, pollution, biodiversity loss, and ecosystem disruption directly impact the patients and communities we serve. Our Planetary Health Virtual Global Conference for Nurses & Midwives spanned the world and all time zones to bring nursing / midwifery expertise to this critical, leading-edge topic during Earth Week 2006 >>>
Thanking Our Collaborating Co-Sponsors
|
Across the world, 6,500 newborns and 800 pregnant women die every day from preventable causes. These ongoing global tragedies need advocacy to keep humanity committed to concern for the mothers, babies, midwives and nurses facing this challenge. CAMNHA's mission is to develop and establish robust, multi-factorial programs in African and Canadian regions —where the lives of mothers and their infants continue at risk—through exchanges in education, advocacy and culture with the collaboration of related experts, advisors and stakeholders. NIGH's role will be to strengthen the advocacy of Midwives, Nurses and everyone for this significant cause.
