The UN General Assembly (UNGA) is convening for the first day of the high-level 76th session in New York City.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the event will be held in a hybrid format, with some leaders attending in person and others addressing the meeting via video link.

More than 100 countries’ top officials are expected to participate in the UN gathering this year, despite the COVID-19 pandemic, which in 2020, forced the event into a fully virtual format.
