UN
The United Nations (UN), an intergovernmental organisation founded in 1945, is headquartered in New York City, with major operational regions across Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas. As a leader in international diplomacy and humanitarian efforts, the UN focuses on a range of critical areas, including peacekeeping, human rights, and sustainable development. With its core services encompassing conflict resolution, humanitarian aid, and global policy advocacy, the UN distinguishes itself through its commitment to fostering international cooperation and addressing global challenges. Notable achievements include the establishment of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) in 2015, which aim to tackle pressing issues such as poverty, inequality, and climate change. The UN's influential position in global governance underscores its vital role in shaping a more equitable and sustainable world.

UN's reported carbon emissions
As of the latest available data, the United Nations has not published specific carbon emissions figures for the most recent year, nor are there detailed reduction targets or initiatives outlined in the provided information. However, the UN is committed to addressing climate change through various global frameworks and agreements, such as the Paris Agreement, which aims to limit global warming to well below 2 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. The UN encourages member states to set ambitious climate commitments and has been instrumental in promoting sustainable development goals (SDGs) that include climate action. While specific emissions data and reduction targets are not available, the UN's role in facilitating international cooperation and setting a global agenda for climate action remains crucial in the fight against climate change.
