While accomplishments have been numerous over the last two decades, the Unit and the UN Trust Fund for Human Security (UNTFHS) are at a critical crossroads where every effort must be made to expand political and financial support for the Fund. In this context, in 2026, building on the momentum from the 2024 report of the Secretary-General on human security (A/78/665) and the 2025 report of the Secretary-General, The Security We Need: Rebalancing Military Spending for a Sustainable and Peaceful Future, as well as other developments that underscore the growing support for human security among governments, the HSU will prioritize mobilizing resources to strengthen the financial sustainability of the UNTFHS. As a key mechanism for the UN system to respond to emerging and future multi-layered crises, such as the multidimensional impacts of climate change and disasters, growing inequalities and disenfranchisement, increasing displacement, evolving digital threats, and the nexus among these challenges, the Unit and the Fund will direct attention on providing support to Member States in meeting their current commitments, particularly those outlined in the Pact for the Future, as well as other global events and priority agendas.
