The UN Secretary-General, António Guterres, announced this Thursday that he intends to dedicate the remaining months of his term to reforming the organization. During his speech, Guterres revealed the intention to promote the UN80 initiative, which represents a comprehensive plan to modernize the United Nations.

The UN80 initiative includes concrete restructuring measures, including job cuts in various areas of the organization. The plan also contemplates the merger of United Nations agencies, seeking to reduce duplication of functions and optimize resources.

Furthermore, Guterres's proposal includes a deep reorganization of the United Nations structure. The goal is to make the organization more efficient and adapted to current challenges, taking advantage of the time remaining in his term to implement these changes.

Gutterses has been using each day of his term to advance this reform, demonstrating urgency in implementing the UN80 plan before the end of his tenure leading the organization.
