This podcast was recorded during the Humanitarian Leadership Conference in April 2025 in Doha.
Host Carla Vitantonio interviewed a number of humanitarian practitioners, researchers and other conference participants, asking all of them the same two questions:

1. In times of polycrisis, what is one challenge and one opportunity for you and your organization?
2. What is one thing from this conference that makes you hopeful for the future?

Listening to the voices of those who participated, Carla collects a memory of this unique moment where people from 85 countries gathered and discussed about how to bring about a meaningful change in the humanitarian space.
