World's Biggest Problems

1. Clean water is a huge problem in our world. With a growing population and increasing levels of pollution, finding clean water needs to be a priority. A solution would be to create an invention that would allow ocean water to be clean enough to drink.

2. Climate change is another huge problem. While people may not always agree on the causes, it is important to react to these changes, such as rising water levels caused by melting ice, increasingly strong hurricanes, and many species becoming endangered or extinct because they cannot adapt to the new climate. One solution would be to enact stricter pollution laws so that we don’t make the problem even worse.

3. Finding a source of renewable energy is another major concern. We cannot continue to sustain the amount of energy we use solely using fossil fuels. A solution to this is to widen the availability and effectiveness of renewable energy sources such as solar panels or windmills. If these options are cheaper and more convenient to use, more people will be likely to use them.

4. ISIS is another major problem in our world today. Many people live in fear of the possibility of an attack from them. A possible solution includes attacking their organization through the Internet. They mainly recruit through social media platforms and undoubtedly communicate online, so taking out their Internet capabilities would weaken their organization and would hopefully open up the opportunity to eliminate them completely.

5. Education inequality is another major problem. There are huge disparities not only between first and third world countries, but even within countries, states, and cities. A possible solution is sending educators to those countries that don’t currently have an education system, as well as speaking to current educators on how to improve the school system.

6. There is a huge technological gap between developed and developing countries. It is almost impossible for these developing countries to compete economically with those that are developed since so much of today’s world involves technology. A solution is to work on developing countries technological infrastructures or to use recycled technology to help them catch up to other parts of the world.

7. Nuclear proliferation is another huge problem. More and more countries are developing nuclear weapons which could lead to a disastrous nuclear war. One solution would be to set worldwide nuclear restrictions and to slowly reduce the number of nuclear weapons.

8. Another problem is worldwide hunger. Many people, even in our own country, do not have sufficient access to food. One way to solve this is through genetically modified foods that are more resistant to disease or can grow in wider range of climates.

9. Unfair labor and working conditions are another worldwide problem. Many people labor incredibly long hours for very minimal wages that barely cover food or housing. Additionally, they work in conditions that negatively affect their health. One solution is to increase workers’ wages, and another is to make and enforce stricter labor laws that will protect workers.

10. Finally, human trafficking is a worldwide problem. It allows humans to be exploited in a variety of ways. A possible solution is to provide education on the warning signs of human trafficking and for world leaders to work together to create stricter enforcement and zero tolerance for human trafficking.
