UN Secretary-General <\/span>Ant\u00f3nio Guterres<\/span><\/a> told leaders of a bloc of major emerging economies in New Delhi on Sunday that a more balanced global order requires an overhaul of the institutions built after the Second World War, including the UN <\/span>Security Council<\/span><\/a>.<\/span>
The group \u2013 Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa and several other nations that have also signed on \u2013 was founded to give major developing economies a stronger voice in a global system long dominated by Western powers. 
This year’s summit, hosted by India, has drawn heads of state alongside the leaders of the World Health Organization and the World Trade Organization.
\u201cToday’s economic, demographic and geopolitical realities are not those of 1945,\u201d <\/strong>Mr. Guterres said<\/a>. \u201cOur institutional structures must reflect it.\u201d
He told the assembled leaders that they themselves embodied the change he was describing. “Countries represented at this Summit speak to that changing reality<\/strong>,” he said, adding that \u201cwe are increasingly moving towards a multipolar world<\/strong>.\u201d
That shift, he argued, was something to embrace rather than resist. \u201cMultipolarity helps bring balance and equity to global systems and institutions,\u201d he said \u2013 but only if it comes with reform of bodies including the Security Council<\/a> and the Bretton Woods system \u201cto reflect the world of today.\u201d
Mr. Guterres framed four priorities for what he called “inclusive global growth”: financing, technology, climate justice and peace<\/strong>.
On finance, he said developing countries \u201cneed massive international support\u201d to meet the Sustainable Development Goals<\/a>, and called for multilateral development banks to become \u201cbigger, better and bolder.\u201d
On artificial intelligence, he warned the technology’s benefits remained concentrated. \u201cIts power sits with a few companies, in a few countries,\u201d he said. \u201cUnchecked, the AI divide will widen every other divide \u2014 in income, in opportunity, in security, and in sovereignty.\u201d
His starkest language came on climate. \u201cScorching heat, devastating glacier melt, raging wildfires, devastating floods are all a preview,\u201d he said, warning that \u201ca supersized El Ni\u00f1o will only make matters worse\u201d as the world approaches the 1.5-degree limit above pre-industrial levels. 
He pressed wealthy nations to honour existing pledges<\/strong> \u2013 $300 billion dollars a year, tripled adaptation finance, and greater loss and damage funding \u2013 and took aim at the handling of critical minerals: \u201cEnough plundering.\u201d
On peace and security, he pointed to Gaza, the wider Middle East, Ukraine and Sudan, calling on states to uphold the UN Charter<\/a><\/strong>, including \u201csovereign equality,\u201d territorial integrity and \u201cpeaceful settlement of disputes.\u201d
He closed by casting the reform agenda as a shared project rather than a concession. \u201cAs we move irreversibly to a multipolar world, all countries must work to strengthen and safeguard a multilateral system that delivers for all with the United Nations at its centre<\/strong>,\u201d he said.
The UN Secretary-General appealed on Wednesday for world leaders to invest in peace as violence, division and conflict exacerbate suffering worldwide. <\/span> <\/span><\/span>
The UN General Assembly gavelled open its 81st session on Tuesday at UN Headquarters as the incoming president pledged to restore public trust in the institution during a time of war, humanitarian crises and intensifying climate change.<\/span>
