UN Secretary-General António Guterres is working to reform the United Nations. To improve the delivery of our mandate, the United Nations is making sweeping changes in the following areas:
António Guterres, the ninth Secretary-General of the United Nations, took office on January 01, 2017.
Having witnessed the suffering of the most vulnerable people on earth, in refugee camps and in war zones, the Secretary-General is determined to make human dignity the core of his work, and to serve as a peace broker, a bridge-builder and a promoter of reform and innovation.
On January 1, 2016, the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) — adopted by world leaders in September 2015 at an historic UN Summit — officially came into force. Over the next fifteen years, with these new Goals that universally apply to all, countries will mobilize efforts to end all forms of poverty, fight inequalities and tackle climate change, while ensuring that no one is left behind.
