Global issues are challenges and problems that transcend national boundaries and require collective action to address. These issues can affect individuals and societies worldwide and often involve complex interconnections between social, economic, environmental, and political factors. Examples of global issues include climate change, poverty, inequality, public health crises, armed conflicts, human rights violations, and international trade disputes.
Global issues are characterized by their scale, as they impact multiple countries and demographics, and typically necessitate cooperation among nations, international organizations, and non-governmental entities to find sustainable solutions.
