Seven Key Capabilities

The UN is evolving to meet 21st-century challenges, driven by the Quintet of Change.

UN 2.0 envisions a modernized United Nations—one that is forward-thinking, dynamic, and equipped with cutting-edge skills to navigate the complexities of the twenty-first century. At the heart of this transformation lies the Quintet of Change, a strategic framework centered on five key capabilities: foresight, digital, data, behavioural science, and innovation. These skills, embedded within an organizational culture that values agility, continuous learning, and curiosity—while prioritizing gender equity—represent the United Nations’ commitment to strengthening its ability to deliver impact.
