[External Opportunities: Global Youth Survey] The World’s Toughest Job Campaign

Choosing the next United Nations Secretary-General is one of the most consequential leadership decisions in the world — and one of the least understood.

The role operates without executive authority. It relies on influence, trust, political judgment, and the ability to navigate trade-offs.

As young people and young countries shape the demographic and political future, their expectations of global leadership matter. The World’s Toughest Job campaign opens space to debate what leadership of the UN should look like in this century.

This is not about personalities. It’s about the job.
