New York – UN Secretary-General António Guterres has outlined his key priorities for 2025, warning of four major threats that could undermine global stability: runaway conflicts, rampant inequalities, the raging climate crisis, and out-of-control technology.
Addressing the General Assembly, Guterres stressed the need for urgent and coordinated action, urging world leaders to advance peace efforts, uphold human rights, and accelerate the implementation of the Pact for the Future. He called for ceasefires in Gaza, Ukraine, and Sudan, alongside stronger peacekeeping operations and reinforced humanitarian aid.
Highlighting the pressing need for the first multilateral agreement on nuclear disarmament in more than a decade, he warned of growing global insecurity and advocated for new strategies to prevent an arms race in outer space and advance discussions on the use of lethal autonomous weapons. Guterres also underscored the importance of tackling economic and social inequalities, ensuring sustainable development, and strengthening international cooperation on digital governance.
"Global problems demand global solutions," he stated, reaffirming the United Nations’ commitment to promoting peace, security, and sustainable progress.
