9 January 2026 UN Affairs
The United States’ intention to withdraw from a host of UN bodies announced this week targets programmes and initiatives focusing on a wide range of crucial areas, including the climate crisis, trade, gender and development.
When UN Spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric briefed correspondents in New York on Thursday following the release of the White House Memorandum, he insisted that the Organization will continue to carry out its mandates from Member States “with determination.”
Wednesday’s memorandum states that the US administration is “ceasing participation in or funding to those entities to the extent permitted by law.”
Several of the bodies listed in the memo are funded principally or partially by the regular UN budget, implying that voluntary funding will be impacted, although central funding will continue.
However, the White House notes that its funding review of international organisations “remains ongoing,” and it is currently unclear what the impact of the announcement will be.
Here’s a breakdown of the 31 UN entities mentioned in the memorandum, and how they are making a positive difference to people, communities and nations, worldwide.

A little 🧵 on a week long trip through Europe
This morning early departure from Valence TGV for another work-related #noflying journey around a large swath of Europe, including #Stockholm. Estimated distance 6481 km in only 10 trains, including 2 night-trains.
Perfectly on-time, train fully booked. Actually looking forward to what should be, for the first leg, about 26 hours in trains from here.
(had to do the first 76km by car, since on Sundays we have no early TER)

Booked train from Poznań to London. 3 changes, 268 EUR/person in total (all reserved seats included), 13h travel time, though I've split it over 2 days. Not too bad, but it's still more than twice the price of the 2h flight operating on that route. #traintravel #europebytrain #travel #train #eurostar
