The UN Information Center works to inform, educate and update a wide range of groups, such as environmentalists, governmental agencies, businesses, DC based international institutions and the public. Public Opinion Polls over the decades show that Americans normally support the UN, depending on the issue, from 38%-84%. UN agencies assist in moving aircraft, mail, ships and weather information in international space, as well as working with Rotary International to eliminate the scourge of polio, assisting Ukrainians, empowering women, combatting climate change and human trafficking and promoting human rights. The UN’s budget is smaller than that of the New York Police Department’s. All 8 billion people on the planet are positively affected daily by a myriad of UN agencies.
