A list of the most urgent global issues These scores were made in 2017, and haven’t been kept up-to-date after then. To see our current overall views on which global problems are most pressing, see the problem profiles page. This page shows a rough attempt to quantitatively compare global problems using our framework, but isn’t the only input into how we pick issues. Which global issues should you work on to have the greatest impact? Working with researchers at the Global Priorities Institute, Open Philanthropy and elsewhere, we created a framework and used it to rate and make a list of global issues. This led to some surprising results – artificial intelligence ranks as more pressing than global health. This is because the most urgent problems are not only big, they’re also neglected and solvable – the fewer people working on a problem, the easier it is to make a big contribution. The list of global issues Please take these scores with a big pinch of salt. Click through to see our reasoning for each problem. Continue
