UN General Assembly 2022

Every September, world leaders from United Nations (UN) Member States gather at the UN headquarters in New York to debate the most important issues facing the world. 

This forum is called the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA).

The 77th general debate of the UN General Assembly, which offers Member States the opportunity to reaffirm their commitment to multilateralism and discuss world issues, opens on 20 September and will take place through 26 September.

The theme for the 77th Session of the General Assembly is "A watershed moment: transformative solutions to interlocking challenges."

Heads of State or Government may elect to either deliver their statement live from the podium in the General Assembly Hall, or have a delegate introduce their pre-recorded statement.
