US WHO Funding Cut: A $400 Million Impact on Global Health

The US, the largest donor to the World Health Organization (WHO), has decided to withdraw its funding, which amounts to approximately $400 million annually. This decision could significantly affect the WHO’s ability to develop international health guidelines, investigate disease outbreaks, and serve as an information-sharing hub for its member states. The withdrawal not only impacts the WHO’s operations but also means the US will lose its influential role within the organization. Meanwhile, in the energy sector, there’s a new race to find natural deposits of hydrogen underground, aiming to meet energy demands while addressing climate change. Additionally, a breakthrough in reducing methane emissions from cattle through dietary supplements has been highlighted as one of the top technologies to watch in 2025.
