| Updated On: 09-Jan-2026 @ 1:20 pmPresident Donald Trump has ordered the US withdrawal from 66 international organisations, including UN bodies, WHO, UNESCO, UNHRC, UNRWA, and the India–France-led International Solar Alliance, calling them contrary to US interests. The move is expected to create major funding cuts and leadership vacuums, potentially allowing China to expand its influence. Key impacts include weakened global health programmes, reduced support for education and heritage, and diminished human rights oversight. The US exit from major climate institutions, including UNFCCC and IPCC, is seen as a serious setback to global climate action, climate finance, and scientific cooperation, with long-term geopolitical and environmental consequences.
