UN City Copenhagen
A hub for the Sustainable Development Goals housing 10 United Nations agencies with 2,000 personnel across 2 locations in Copenhagen.
The use of force by the United States and Israel against Iran, and the subsequent retaliation by Iran across the region, undermine international peace and security. I call for an immediate cessation of hostilities and de-escalation.

About UN City
UN City Copenhagen comprises two campuses with a total of 2,000 personnel.
Campus 1 opened in 2013 and houses 1,600 personnel from 108 different countries working across 10 United Nations agencies. Campus 2 is home to UNICEF Global Supply and Logistics Hub with 400 personnel and is the largest humanitarian warehouse in the world.
The 10 UN agencies resident in UN City vary in size and mandate. They do, however, share a common agenda: to achieve the 17 Sustainable Development Goals by 2030.
