Climate change is one of the most urgent challenges addressed by the United Nations. The UN supports international agreements such as the Paris Agreement, which aims to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and limit global temperature rise. Organizations like the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) help countries protect natural resources, promote renewable energy, and adapt to the effects of climate change, including rising sea levels and extreme weather events.
The United Nations also promotes education, science, and culture as foundations for peace and development. Through UNESCO, the UN works to improve access to quality education, protect cultural heritage, and encourage scientific cooperation. UNESCO’s World Heritage Sites program helps preserve historically and culturally important locations around the world for future generations.
