As the United Nations marks its 80th anniversary, the Organization is undertaking a wide-ranging reform effort aimed at strengthening how it delivers for people around the world. 

The UN80 Initiative seeks to make the UN more nimble, efficient and responsive — at a time when global needs are rising and trust in multilateral institutions is being tested.

To better understand what’s behind the initiative and where it’s headed, UN News’ Laura Quiñones spoke with Guy Ryder, the UN’s Under-Secretary-General for Policy and Chair of the UN80 Task Force.
