The US just withdrew from #UNESCO.
https://www.state.gov/releases/office-of-the-spokesperson/2025/07/the-united-states-withdraws-from-the-united-nations-educational-scientific-and-cultural-organization-unesco
The Trump State Dept put the rationale into one succinct paragraph:
"UNESCO works to advance divisive social and cultural causes and maintains an outsized focus on the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals [#SDGs], a globalist, ideological agenda for international development at odds with our America First foreign policy. UNESCO’s decision to admit the “State of #Palestine” as a Member State is highly problematic, contrary to U.S. policy, and contributed to the proliferation of anti-#Israel rhetoric within the organization."
Under UNESCO rules, the withdrawal cannot take effect until the end of 2026.
PS: There's some history here. Reagan withdrew the US from UNESCO in December 1983. GW Bush rejoined in September 2002. Trump withdrew us in his first term, October 2017. Biden rejoined in July 2023.
How can small-scale environmental actions, like community gardens ... support global sustainability goals?

@johnzajac Thanks for the article. I'm not so interested in the tug-of-war within and between a two-party system. I'd like to hear more about how each candidate, across the spectrum, will act to advance the UN's #SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals).
In my continent, it could look like a North American #Green New Deal, where all people have healthy food, housing, clean water, self- and family life, and and can actually #thrive.

Health Policy WatchI am so tired of institutions equating "sustanability" with the UN's Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). They don't cover all of sustainability, and many of them ARE NOT sustainability. The clue is in the name: they're development goals. Here's a history lesson: the UN had "Millenium Development Goals". They broadened them to add some sustainability. #SDGs
Winnie Byanyima, the executive director of UNAids, said that if the funding permanently disappeared, the world faced an additional 6 million HIV infections and 4 million Aids-related deaths by 2029.

“It is a deadly funding crisis, a global response knocked totally off course. This is a pandemic, and pandemics have no borders,” she said in an interview with the Guardian at the UN international development funding summit this week in Seville, Spain.

Solar power: Kangaroo Point Bridge leads winners as Queensland architecture awards put spotlight on sustainability https://www.theguardian.com/artanddesign/2025/jun/27/solar-power-kangaroo-point-bridge-leads-winners-as-queensland-architecture-awards-put-spotlight-on-sustainability
The bridge has received the Queensland Architecture Medallion, the Karl Langer award for urban design, and an award for sustainable architecture.
I finally went for a lunchtime walk across the Kangaroo Point Bridge in the winter sun. I like how the infrastructure opens up some new vistas of the Brisbane river. And the bridge will be a boon for interstate visitors residing on Kangaroo Point - who can now wander into the city without having to rely on the infrequent ferry service.

social-media-matrix.king-consult.deThe global SSE movement, including @Ripess_Intercontinental other SSE networks, government partners and the UNTFSSE, have long advocated that #SSE – by promoting democratic/participatory governance and the primacy of people and planet before profit and capital – is a strategic means of implementation of the #SDGs that can help correct course in a major way.
