2025 marks the 10th anniversary of one of the most significant resolutions on youth and peace ever adopted by the UN Security Council.

In this episode of our flagship podcast, The Lid is On, Conor Lennon speaks to some of the young leaders who were at UN Headquarters this month to celebrate the progress made so far, and reflect on what more needs to be done.
