10 Global Crises to Pay Attention to in 2022

With the ongoing pandemic and the rise of the omicron variant, it's easy to forget that the world isn't battling other major crises right now. But for The New Humanitarian, an independent nonprofit media outlet that covers conflict and disasters, these "other crises" are always top of mind. In December, the outlet published its annual list of 10 global crises and trends that it will be watching in 2022. It's been compiling the list for the past five years to spotlight problems likely to drive humanitarian need in the months ahead. This year's list consists of the pandemic's poverty and equality hangover, social media's hate problem, hunger, the hidden health risks of climate change and more.
