Insights from around the world
Extreme weather fueled by climate change such as droughts and floods displace some 20 million people every year. By some estimates, by 2050, climate migration could push over one billion people out of their homes.
Pressure on freedom of speech and expression has been ramped up by rulers who want to silence critics - such as arbirary arrests in El Salvador and Iran, or the attempt at silencing critical journalists in Guatemala, to name just a few of our most recent topics.
The world is in economic turmoil. In many parts of the world, affordable housing is hard to come by. How does that shape societies?
We also shine a light on problems - and possible solutions - that are relevant to us all, such as preventing the next pandemic.
