Shafaqna English- The General Assembly has approved a regular budget of $3.45 billion for the United Nations for the year 2026, following weeks of intensive negotiations and one of the Organization’s most significant reform initiatives, UN80.
The budget approved by the 193-member General Assembly on Tuesday (30 Dec 2026) authorizes $3.45 billion for the coming year, covering the Organization’s three core pillars of work: peace and security, sustainable development and human rights.
While the approved budget is roughly $200 million higher than the Secretary-General’s proposal prepared under the UN80 reform initiative, it is about 7 per cent lower than the approved 2025 budget.
