Conflict, humanitarian disasters, climate change. Our world and its people are facing huge challenges. Wherever and whenever crisis hits, the United Nations staff are both on the ground saving lives and negotiating at the highest levels to alleviate suffering. This work is only possible due to the personal sacrifices made every day by UN staff around the world. So, what motivates someone to lead the global fight for human rights, equality, or justice?

Join UN chief communicator Melissa Fleming as she gets to know the extraordinary people behind the organisation.

Coming soon from the United Nations, Season 9 of Awake at Night.
