Climate change is the biggest challenge
Over the next 30 years we will be over 2 billion more people on our planet, and most of us will be living in cities. In fact, cities are growing at a pace of more than one Bergen every other day. Or 7 Singapores a year. Half of the world’s poorest have been lifted out of extreme poverty over the last two decades. We are on track to eliminate extreme poverty and improve the lives of all in our generation. But there is a flip side to this coin.
