Children around the world are dying every day from preventable diseases—every 30 seconds a child in Africa dies from malaria, and more than 600 children die each day from measles. We work hand in hand with the World Health Organization, UNICEF and other UN leaders to develop and expand major initiatives to help children survive and thrive.

Energy is essential to the human experience. Energy powers transportation, provides heat, brings light and drives the machinery that fuels the global economy. Worldwide reliance on fossil fuels also incurs significant political, economic, environmental and development costs. Our Climate & Energy Team works with the UN to help transition the world toward a safe, cleaner, more equitable and climate-friendly energy future.
Conservation and Livelihoods

We believe in the power of individuals, the private sector, local actors, governments and others to support the United Nations leadership in conserving the wonders of the natural world toward promoting sustainable development. Our program helps local communities develop sustainable livelihoods around some of the UNs more than 870 World Heritage sites—including such treasures as Ecuadors Galapagos Islands and Mexicos Sian Kaan Biosphere Reserve.
