Melting glaciers. Rising sea levels. Wildfires. Food shortages. Mass coral reef deaths and widespread species extinctions. Global pandemics. Every other issue is secondary. In a world of climate change, direct impacts on humanity are evident where we live and work and on the health and well-being of many populations. Climate change is a truly global issue; fighting it demands global cooperation and financing through summits, known as COPs, and landmark treaties like the Paris Agreement.

Geopolitics (243)

The world's multilateral efforts to solve global challenges are based on a post-World War II political and economic order that is struggling to navigate the 21st century's multipolarity and rise of authoritarianism: the U.S.-China rivalry, Russia's war in Ukraine, Israel and Hamas, the West's conflicts with North Korea and Iran, the crisis in Afghanistan, coups in Africa, and unrest in the Americas over deep-rooted injustices, biases and inequalities.

Human Rights (139)

The United Nations says human rights are inherent to all human beings, regardless of race, sex, nationality, ethnicity, language, religion, or any other status. Human rights include the right to life and liberty, freedom from slavery and torture, freedom of opinion and expression, the right to work and education, and many more. Everyone is entitled to these rights, without discrimination. International human rights law sets out the obligations of governments to promote and protect human rights.

Humanitarians & Peace (92)

Humanitarian organizations and diplomats working for peace must respond effectively to the needs of people caught in crises, understand and analyze their needs, and mobilize international aid. With enough funding and resources, organizations can provide tools and services to ensure that no one affected by a crisis is left behind. The number of people who need aid has soared in recent years due to factors like climate change, population growth and the spread of armed groups and extremists.

Trump Watch (74)

Donald Trump's hostility to international organizations and multilateralism as U.S. president from 2017 to 2021 undercut longstanding alliances and treaties, alienated leaders, and damaged America's global standing and its own democracy. Despite his conviction on 34 felony charges in a New York hush money case and his exposure from other lawsuits and criminal charges, Trump won his 2024 bid to return to the White House. Experts say he now poses a serious threat to democracy, peace, and security.
