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.

Earth's rotation (Earth 🌍)
Earth's rotation or Earth's spin is the rotation of planet Earth around its own axis, as well as changes in the orientation of the rotation axis in space. Earth rotates eastward, in prograde motion. As viewed from the northern polar star Polaris, Earth turns counterclockwise. The North Pole, also known as the Geographic North Pole or Terrestrial North Pole, is the point in the Norther...

The CfP for our DN34 International Conference on #Discourse, #Identity and #Polarisation is now open. It will be held 10–12 November 2026 at #Vilnius University and online. The call for papers and panel proposals is open until 15 May 2026. This conference provides an interdisciplinary space for examining how individual and group identities are discursively constructed in today’s increasingly polarised societies, and how discourse both reflects and shapes emerging social divisions.

Stel er zou een #kiesdrempel van 5% zijn geweest bij de laatste #TweedeKamerVerkiezingen.
Dan zouden de volgende partijen geen zetel hebben:
#FvD, #BBB, #DENK, #SGP, #PvdD, #CU, #SP, #50Plus, #Volt.Deze partijen hebben nu samen 29 zetels. Dat is 19% van de Kamerzetels.
Dan zou de stem van 2.136.608 (!) kiezers niet vertegenwoordigd zijn. Wat een aantasting van de #democratie zou dat zijn.
En wellicht een opmaat naar een tweepartijenstelsel vol #polarisatie.

Dagmar Herzog beschreibt Faschismus als Erlaubnisgeber. Was das mit Widersprüchen, Social Media und unserer Haltung zum Klimawandel zu tun hat: ein Kommentar.

An interesting take from Alex Fein in #RedbridgeIntel. What do everyday Australians want, and what binds then to each other viewed though the political lense — because living in societies is very much about #politics.
“Consider the rise of One Nation. The reflexive interpretation from the political/media class is that this represents a lurch to the far right. It does not.
What it represents is a furious rejection of the neoliberal consensus shared by both major parties: a rejection of Labor and the Coalition’s fidelity to sectional interests that lobby them to legislate (or not legislate) in ways that are manifestly counter to the national interest.”
