The 1997 East Asian financial crisis, the 2008 global food and energy crisis, and the COVID-19 pandemic are all examples of global systemic shocks.  And when the next secretary-general takes office in January 2027, there will most likely be another complex crisis underway. 

These days, a new complex global crisis pops up about as often as the Olympics. And the UN secretary-general may be the only leader who can persuade a divided world to respond as one.

Host Jasmin Bauomy and co-host Mark Malloch-Brown are joined by Sigrid Kaag, a former Dutch deputy prime minister and finance minister and UN special coordinator for the Middle East peace process; Martin Griffiths, a former UN undersecretary for humanitarian affairs; and Aarathi Krishnan, the founder and CEO of RAKSHA Intelligence Futures.

World’s Toughest Job is a co-production of Foreign Policy and the UN Foundation.
