the UN is working to build a brighter future by confronting the planet’s most complex challenges – but it can’t do it alone.
The World Health Organization (WHo)
The World Health organization (WHO) analyzes 100,000 health threats every month that have the potential to turn into outbreaks and in 2023 alone, the UN bought $812 million in medicines and other health products from the United States.
America's partnership with WHO keeps us safe, healthy, and prosperous by stopping diseases and tackling health emergencies worldwide.
Paris Agreement
After the hottest year on record, wildfires continue to rage in Los Angeles, and communities from Florida to North Carolina are still recovering from devastating hurricanes. Climate change is fueling more extreme weather—intensifying hurricanes, increasing rainfall, and making wildfires more destructive.
The Paris Agreement – for the first time – brought all nations into a common cause to undertake ambitious efforts to combat climate change and adapt to its effects. If the U.S. fails to act, the human and economic toll will only worsen.
Fully Fund the United Nations (UN)
The UN serves as a global 911 for the world’s most vulnerable, providing critical support such as food, shelter, clean water, medical care, and education to those trapped in deadly conflicts or reeling from natural disasters.
In 2023, 20% of the world’s children lived in or fled conflict zones, over 250 million people faced acute hunger, and one in 73 people were displaced—a figure that has doubled in the past decade.
Yet, through the generosity of key donors like the U.S., the UN and its humanitarian partners delivered life-saving assistance to 128 million people last year.
More resources
U.S. foreign assistance saves lives and stopping it will cause untold suffering.
In Myanmar, where malaria cases increased tenfold over four years, the delivery of malaria tests and drugs have stopped. Globally, the UN International Organization for Migration is ending its assistance through its fund of last resort for human trafficking victims worldwide. Reducing human trafficking is something the U.S. has long supported - in bipartisan fashion - why would we want to limit that essential assistance?
