As of January 2026, an international consensus was made that the “ Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C threshold ” is no longer a future threat, but an already-met milestone. Around the world, policy and scientific bodies are urging that national governments and multinational corporations fulfill their promises to phase out fossil fuel subsidies, strengthen national pledges, etc. However, various ideological shifts have created drag on — the much needed — immediate action. For example, t

On September 8, 2025, the Nepalese Parliament — along with many other government buildings — was set ablaze in Nepal’s massive “Gen Z” protests. The initially peaceful anti-corruption demonstrations against a social media ban quickly turned violent as armed forces fired on crowds in the capital city of Kathmandu. With dozens killed (around 19 to 21) and hundreds injured, that day sparked nationwide unrest, government resignations, and a shift towards further chaos. This escal

This fall, Japan entered a rare moment of political transition as hardline conservative leader Sanae Takaichi became the country’s new prime minister — the first woman to hold the position in Japanese history. Her appointment came at a time when Japan faces persistent demographic decline, economic stagnation, and widening generational divides. Youth unemployment remains low in many Western democracies, yet young people continue to struggle with rising living costs, rigid care

This September, the streets of France erupted in protest as citizens across the country challenged the government’s proposed €44 billion austerity package. The plan — initially to reduce national debt — included pension freezes, cuts to public spending, and the elimination of two public holidays. For ordinary citizens, particularly the youth, this was seen as yet another blow in a long series of fiscal  pressures. In August, youth unemployment in France stood at 18.1%, signif

Humanity tends to flock toward religion, as it shapes communities, and provides those seeking comfort, with purpose and guidance. However, government and social actors that view religion as a threat to their established power will often persecute religious communities to ensure sustained dominance. The ultimate goal being that no power is lost. In 2022, Pew Research Center held a study, revealing that religious harassment occurs in 192 countries out of the world’s 198 countri

The struggle between China and Taiwan is often framed as one of the most infamous geopolitical rivalries across East Asia. Various governments continue to debate sovereignty, and the world’s powers continue to weigh their interests in the Taiwan Strait. Yet, beyond the many policies and headlines, Taiwan’s future is actually deeply personal — grounded in questions of identity, belonging, and recognition. The victor of this debate, gets to define themselves as they please. Wit

At the U.S.-Mexico border, politics exert significant influence over migrant families. In the ongoing debate over immigration policies, opinions often overshadow the lives of migrants entirely. However, through the perspective of a humanitarian working at the Kino Border Initiative — an institution that provides direct aid to migrants and their families — we are reminded that compassion should not be viewed as a partisan value, but a human one. For years, the United States ha

I’m typically working behind the scenes, amplifying the voices of youth from around the world. However, during my time in Europe, I feel compelled to share my own. The continent is undeniably rich in history and culture, composing of over 200 languages, hundreds of cultural identities, and the stories of a little more than 744 million people. Taking that into consideration, it is no surprise that Europe has welcomed over 747 million tourists in 2024, making the region the mos

Afghanistan is often misconceptualized by both the media and the world — usually reduced to just war, rubble, and desert. However, nestled at the crossroads of Central Asia, South Asia, and the Middle East, people forgo the nation’s geographic beauty and rich culture entirely. Centuries of history, woven from a blend of Persian, Greek, Buddhist, Hindu, and Islamic influences, accompany majestic landscapes that define the nation’s heritage and environment. Unfortunately, the c

In 1947, the United Nations proposed a plan to partition the British Mandate of Palestine into two states — one Arab and the other Jewish. This formal division was intended to de-escalate violence between the Jewish and Arab communities — since the British were no longer able to remain in control of the situation. This meant Jerusalem would operate under international administration, and on November 29, 1947 the Jewish Agency for Palestine — representing Jewish leadership — a

Japan is known to be fiscally prestigious, housing global giants such as Nintendo, Honda, and Sony that set apart the country’s world-class export economy from others. Additionally, the country is renowned for possessing a high domestic savings rate and a stable financial system that strengthens investor trust and helps the country maintain fiscal independence. However, behind Japan’s global image, economic shifts greatly affect younger generations, with international youth o

In November 2013, then-President of Ukraine, Viktor Yanukovych rejected the European Union’s proposed association agreement. His decision sparked a subsequent period of civil unrest and protests within Ukraine from late 2013 to early 2014. Due to growing public backlash, Yanukovych fled Ukraine in February 2014, and a new government was established to initiate the country’s shift toward the West — the European Union and the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). During th
