Peter Yeo, President of the Better World Campaign and Senior Vice President at the United Nations Foundation, leads the Foundation’s strategic engagement with the U.S. Congress and Administrations to advance policy changes that support the UN’s work for global progress. Although there are many myths about the UN, recent polling shows that 52% of Americans have a favorability rating of the UN. The UN affects all inhabitants of the planet with its valuable programs to assist refugees, combat climate change, provide humanitarians assistance, control diseases, and help move aircraft, ships, mail and weather information in international space. When the UN Security Council was paralyzed re: Ukraine, several UN agencies worked on the front lines to provide food, medicines and other humanitarian needs. The UN is striving to improve its coordination, transparency and accountability to be more effective and efficient. If the UN did not exist, we would have to create it tomorrow.
