Bill Gates began, “A few major global failures over the past few years have discouraged many people and wondered if the world was destined to get worse.”
He noted that one of the biggest setbacks in history was the pandemic. The entrepreneur described the armed conflict between Russia and Ukraine as a great tragedy for the whole world. At the same time, climate change turned out to be even worse than models predicted, and the US took a big step forward in gender equality and women’s well-being by abolishing guaranteed abortion rights.
“But I’m still optimistic. These setbacks happen in the context of two decades of historic progress, and I believe it’s possible to mitigate the damage and get back to the progress the world has made,” Gates added.
