What's Next for the World? with John McArthur

About this episode

The list of urgent things to fix — climate change, inequality, poverty — is long. In a world where every problem seems top-priority, what does it actually look like when we get together to solve complex, thorny issues? Today, we're talking with John McArthur, director of the Center for Sustainable Development at the Brookings Institution, about how nations and governments push forward on "all the big stuff." He reminds us that we have made surprising progress on some things on the list, and that on others, the story is still being written. What Could Go Right? is produced by The Progress Network and The Podglomerate.
