Billionaire wealth has risen three times faster in
2024 than 2023. Five trillionaires are now expected
within a decade. Meanwhile, crises of economy,
climate and conflict mean the number of people

The changes in governments in 2024 – the biggest election year in history – gave little hope for the action needed to address these existential issues. The pendulum seems set to continue its swing to the right in 2025. Everybody is holding their breath when it comes to the foreign policy of the new US administration and how this will impact global affairs, as geopolitical divisions are likely to be accentuated. The global climate and economic justice agenda also stands to be affected by this.
