U.S. plans to withdraw from 66 global agencies, including major U.N. climate and health organizations, reduce participation in international disease surveillance and pandemic preparedness. The pullout cuts funding and technical support for vaccine delivery, outbreak detection, and health system strengthening in low-income countries. Reduced U.S. engagement undermines joint research, data sharing, and emergency coordination that accelerate responses to emerging pathogens. Shifts in leadership may empower other states with different health priorities and standards. Fragmented global governance on climate and health complicates adaptation efforts, exacerbates health inequities, and raises risks of higher morbidity and mortality worldwide.
