The work of these chosen scholars helps tackle one of the biggest development challenges we face – lack of employment opportunities. The consequences for young people such as unemployment, inequality, marginalization and disaffection are far-reaching but wider communities also suffer from the effects of high levels of youth unemployment; including poverty, violent extremism, political instability, drugs and crime.

One Young World is the global forum for young leaders that identifies, promotes and connects the world's most impactful activists to create a better world, with more responsible and effective leadership. Its annual Summit brings together 2,000 of the most talented young leaders from across 196 countries to tackle the globe's most pressing issues, from climate change to conflict resolution.

One Young World is actively supported by a distinguished line-up of Counsellors including the late Kofi Annan , former President Mary Robinson , Sir Bob Geldof , Archbishop Desmond Tutu, Emma Watson , HRH The Duchess of Sussex , and Professor Muhammad Yunus . One Young World Counsellors work alongside delegates at the global Summits, sharing their collective experience in creating positive social change.

The annual Summit has been named International Conference of the Year on three occasions by C&IT. One Young World also has the largest corporate footprint of any NGO, and is partnered with more than 500 of the world's leading organisations, many of which are listed by Fortune 500 or FTSE 100.
