​During the United Nations Association of the USA’s 
2024 Global Engagement Summit, we were presented with compelling evidence from people brought out from all over the world of the United Nation’s (UN) profound impact on global issues. 

The UN has assisted an impressive 117 million people, providing food to 160 million individuals across 120 countries. Additionally, the UN has supplied vaccines to 45 million children worldwide and collaborated with 196 nations to curb the rise in global temperature, crucially keeping it below 2°C/3.6°F. Moreover, the UN maintains peace with 87,000 peacekeepers across 12 operations worldwide.
​
Regarding the global water crisis affecting over 3.6 billion people, the United Nations Association of the USA plays a crucial role. Through various initiatives and partnerships, the UN addresses this crisis by promoting sustainable water management practices, improving access to clean water and sanitation and raising awareness about the importance of water conservation. 

The UN's multifaceted approach underscores its commitment to addressing complex global challenges and improving people's lives worldwide.
