Episode Details

Guyana just threw its hat into the ring for the next UN Secretary-General, officially nominating Ambassador Carolyn Rodrigues-Birkett — the first woman ever to be put forward for the role. With current leader Antonio Guterres wrapping up his term, the global stage is set for a historic moment. Rodrigues-Birkett, Guyana’s UN envoy since 2020 and a veteran of the Security Council, brings a bold vision for a more agile UN. The nomination taps into a growing global movement for female leadership at the helm — especially from Latin America, where Michelle Bachelet, Rebeca Grynspan, and Maria Fernanda Espinosa are also vying. The field is heating up with strong contenders from Argentina and Senegal too — making this one of the most competitive and consequential selections in UN history.
