Guyana’s Ambassador Eyes UN Top Job | Guyana News

Guyana is making a bold global move by nominating Ambassador Carolyn Rodrigues Birkett as its candidate to lead the United Nations, poised to succeed António Guterres in 2026. Backed by the entire Caribbean Community, this historic nomination reflects a rising voice from the Global South, with CARICOM leaders stressing the urgency of multilateralism amid global crises. President Irfaan Ali highlights Guyana’s growing influence, citing its recent Security Council tenure and advocacy on climate, food security, and indigenous rights. With over two decades of diplomatic experience—including roles at the FAO and as a Guyanese minister—Ambassador Birkett brings deep expertise and a vision to revitalize the UN, making it more responsive to global challenges like conflict and climate change.
