Signal Cooperation continues overall but peace and security cooperation keeps falling

Summary

This signal observes that international cooperation has not vanished but is changing form under geopolitical pressure. UNDP observes that countries keep working together in many areas even as tensions reshape the channels and partners involved. The exception is peace and security, where cooperation has continued to fall. This sits inside a broader picture in which great-power rivalry, security anxieties and competition for critical minerals push states inward. Member states also call for UN reform without agreeing on what it should involve, which leaves the security architecture weakened. The implication is that cooperation may persist selectively while the domain most tied to preventing conflict erodes.
