The United Nations
@UN is starting the process to choose its next leader, called the Secretary-General, since the nominations letter went out on 25th November.
This is a summary for Children & Youth on why this 2027 Choice Matters So Much 🌱
The next UN leader will face big problems:
Wars and conflicts
Not enough money - UN budget has shrank significantly
Poverty is increasing
Countries disagreeing with each other
This job is not just about speeches — it requires courage, fairness, and strong leadership.
Faith - the world is getting to a stage where leaders are starting to acknowledge faith as critical to leadership
Artificial Intelligence - policies and ethics to govern the use of

The new leader will take over after 2027. This decision is very important because the world is facing many challenges right now, including conflicts between countries, money problems at the UN, and questions about whether countries can still work together fairly. Since 2016, things have improved a little: Candidates now share their ideas publicly Some interviews are shown on TV Candidates must explain their finances so money doesn’t unfairly influence the process However, the most powerful countries still have the biggest influence. This means the process is more open than before, but not fully fair yet.
3 big ideas are shaping this leadership race:
1. Will the UN finally choose a woman leader?
2. Which part of the world should the leader come from?
3. Will the UN truly listen to all countries — big and small?
How the UN Is Choosing Its Next Leader (Part 2) 🌎
Countries from Latin America and the Caribbean believe it is their turn to lead the UN.
The UN will share the names of all candidates publicly. Candidates will also answer questions in open meetings that people around the world can watch. This helps everyone see what kind of leader each person might be.
After the public talks, a small group of powerful countries meets in private to vote.
