United Nations (U.N.) (755)
Founded at the end of World War II, the New York-based United Nations is an international organization with 193 member nations. It began with 50 nations meeting at San Francisco in 1945 to maintain international peace and security. Over two months, the U.N. Charter was created as the basis for the organization's hope of preventing another world war. Founding members Britain, China, France, the Soviet Union and the United States took permanent veto-wielding seats on the powerful Security Council.

Climate & Health (450)
Melting glaciers. Rising sea levels. Wildfires. Food shortages. Mass coral reef deaths and widespread species extinctions. Global pandemics. Every other issue is secondary. In a world of climate change, direct impacts on humanity are evident where we live and work and on the health and well-being of many populations. Climate change is a truly global issue; fighting it demands global cooperation and financing through summits, known as COPs, and landmark treaties like the Paris Agreement.

Security & Geopolitics (260)
The world's multilateral efforts to solve global challenges are based on a post-World War II security, geopolitical and economic order struggling to navigate the 21st century's multipolarity, rise of authoritarianism and outright 'land mass' expansionism: the Trump-Putin affinity; Russia's war in Ukraine; the U.S.-China rivalry; the Israel-Hamas war; conflicts with North Korea and Iran; the crisis in Afghanistan; coups in Africa; and global unrest over deep-seated injustice, bias and inequality.

Sustainable Development Goals (159)
Many businesses, governments and organizations are committed to sustainable goals like reducing their environmental footprints and conserving resources. Sustainable finance includes environmental, social and governance considerations in investment decisions. In 2015, the U.N.'s 193 member nations adopted the 17 Sustainable Development Goals for 2030. Despite some progress, the U.N. says 83% of the agenda is off-track from the pandemic, climate change, biodiversity loss, pollution, and conflict.

Human Rights (142)
The United Nations says human rights are inherent to all human beings, regardless of race, sex, nationality, ethnicity, language, religion, or any other status. Human rights include the right to life and liberty, freedom from slavery and torture, freedom of opinion and expression, the right to work and education, and many more. Everyone is entitled to these rights, without discrimination. International human rights law sets out the obligations of governments to promote and protect human rights.

Trump Watch (95)
Donald Trump's overt hostility to international organizations and multilateralism as U.S. president from 2017 to 2021 undercut longstanding alliances and treaties, alienated leaders and damaged America's global standing. Despite his exposure to sweeping criminal charges, Trump won his 2024 bid to regain the White House. Experts say the segregationist president, the first to be a sentenced felon, poses a technocratic threat to democracy, security and the post-1945 international rule-based order.
Humanitarians & Peace (95)
Humanitarian organizations and diplomats working for peace must respond effectively to the needs of people caught in crises, understand and analyze their needs, and mobilize international aid. With enough funding and resources, organizations can provide tools and services to ensure that no one affected by a crisis is left behind. The number of people who need aid has soared in recent years due to factors like climate change, population growth and the spread of armed groups and extremists.

Refugees flee across a border and need international protection. Internally displaced people are forced or obliged to leave their homes, fleeing to somewhere else within their country. Asylum seekers ask for international protection; not all are recognized as refugees.

A global information war is being fought over the value and role of international cooperation and development. The World Health Organization says it is fighting an 'infodemic' of too much information, some false or misleading, in digital and physical spaces during disease outbreaks. Beyond the global health arena, misinformation and disinformation in governance can spread like a virus. A CSIS think tank commentary warns that there's a 'rising tide of information war in international affairs.'
