Today’s geopolitical climate is shifting every day, and the Earth’s climate is changing faster than predictions can keep up. Refugee numbers are at an all-time high, and livelihoods are being threatened by resource depletion.

Despite the formidable challenges we face in global development, we see communities building resilience, innovations changing the narrative, and new technologies driving impact in exciting ways. Organizations globally – and locally – are responding and keeping pace with our rapidly changing world.
