"Most people won't miss 2022.
It was a year defined by a lingering pandemic, rampant inflation, unstable
economies, multiple humanitarian crises, a summer of climate hell in many parts
of Asia, Europe and North America, and more than anything else, the outbreak of
a devastating war in Ukraine. Wherever you turned, it was hard to escape the
sense that things were falling apart.
That wasn't all that happened though. Our two media outlets,
Future Crunch
and
The Progress Network, spent the year reporting a very different set of
stories, the ones you didn't see on the evening news or in your social feeds.
Unlikely as it may seem, 2022 was also a year of uplifting human rights
victories, extraordinary conservation wins, big milestones in global health and
development, and an unprecedented acceleration in the clean energy transition.
We teamed up to bring you a comprehensive list of all that good news. Our goal
isn't to try convince you to take one side over the other in a debate about
optimism and pessimism - the world is far too muddled for that. Instead, it's
to remind you that away from the headlines, millions of people from every
corner of the planet did their best to solve the problems that could be solved,
and stayed open-eyed and open-hearted even in the most difficult of
circumstances.
After the countless hours we all spent collectively focused on everything bad,
mad and sad in 2022, perhaps it's worth spending half an hour learning about
what humanity did achieve? You might just find yourself pleasantly surprised.
We know we were."
