The next UN Secretary-General has a narrow window to show the UN is back in business.
Visible action on peace + unapologetic defense of core UN principles is a place to start, creating space to tackle further challenges.

The UN has never had a monopoly on multilateralism.
It’s a singular node in a wider ecosystem.
In its next act, it must reassert its unique role.

Just out: A new 20-country @unfoundation poll reveals what the world wants from the next UN Secretary-General.
The selection process offers a rare opportunity to define the UN’s purpose, who it serves, and how it can deliver in a fragmented world.
Results below 🧵
What the poll found (2):
- Citizens want a UN leader, not an administrator: a diplomat, crisis manager & moral voice.
- 61% say it’s time for the UN’s first woman Secretary-General.
Publics are hungry for results.
Whoever takes office on January 1, 2027 has a window to deliver early wins and prove multilateralism still works.
