The State of the World Atlas is an accessible, unique visual survey of
current events and global trends, highlighting the international scope
and complexity of many challenges facing the humanity today. With a bold
new design, this distinctive atlas presents the latest statistics on
international trade and migration, the globalization of work, aging and
new health risks (up to and including the COVID-19 pandemic), food and
water, energy resources and consumption, literacy, gender equality, wars
and peacekeeping, and more. And for the newest edition, special
attention has been brought to the way that all of these issues are
affected by the ongoing climate crisis. Fascinating, troubling, and
surprising, this is an important resource for anyone who seeks to better
understand the world around them.
