Stories to Watch 2023
2022 was a year of disruption. The ongoing effects of COVID, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, inflation, climate impacts and more led to major upheaval in people’s lives.

World leaders are prioritizing action on nature and climate and multilateral meetings led to new breakthroughs. These silver linings bring hope that out of the many crises, a new and better approach could emerge.

CORRECTION, 1/26/23: After Stories to Watch was recorded, we discovered three factual inaccuracies. Russian natural gas supplies 40% of the E.U.’s gas supply, not its overall energy supply. Due to an update in the underlying report’s methodology, 17% — not 18% — of the Amazon has been deforested. And American families who take advantage of the Inflation Reduction Act’s clean energy incentives could get up to $10,000 in tax rebates and credits — not $10,000 annually. We regret the errors.
