WHAT WE DO
In our interconnected world, our shared future rests upon our ability to act together with common purpose. The United Nations was created to strengthen the bonds of international cooperation around shared interests and values. It is the one place where all countries and citizens can unite behind collective action to address our greatest challenges and deliver a better world for all. The UN Foundation supports the UN’s ability to tackle these challenges and harness opportunities for the benefit of all humanity. As we head deeper into the 21st century, this task is more urgent than ever.
We work by building communities and incubating initiatives to support the UN and its priority issues, including achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
We are guided by the following priorities:
- To empower and support UN leaders and innovators,
- To accelerate SDG progress and climate action,
- To anticipate future challenges that shape humanity’s prospects,
- To grow diverse and durable constituencies for collective action both in the United States and globally.
WHY THE UN
The United Nations is indispensable to tackling humanity’s greatest challenges and driving global progress. Created out of the ashes of World War II, the UN works to unite countries against their greatest threats and in service of their highest aspirations. In its over 70 years, the UN has helped reduce conflict and maintain peace around the world, alleviate poverty, advance human rights, and deepen cooperation around shared purpose. As our world grows more connected and threats more complex, the UN remains essential to driving global progress.
Because of the UN:
- Smallpox has been wiped off the planet
- Stability has returned to war-torn countries
- The hole in the ozone has healed
- Millions of children are protected from disease
- Human rights are enshrined in international law
- All 193 Member States came together to agree on 17 Sustainable Development Goals – humanity’s blueprint for a better world by 2030
