Special predictions “Summary of 2021 in the world”
The year 2021 ends with unprecedented achievements and important challenges.
A new highly infectious species discovered in South Africa, Omicron, is reaching Europe and the United States. Its true effect and duration are still unknown. Almost two dozen vaccines against the coronavirus in record time allowed to reduce the number of deaths due to the epidemic, especially in the wealthiest countries. However, countries with fewer resources lag far behind in vaccination campaigns.
In 2021, the world is committed to taking better care of the planet, but the goals adopted at COP26, the United Nations climate summit, must be achieved at a time when climate disasters are increasing and forcing thousands of people to flee their places of residence. He grew up and lived.
In economic terms, the growth that resumed after the pandemic has been accompanied by significant inflation and major problems in global supply chains.
The attack on the Capitol in Washington, the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan, the coups and assassinations in Haiti, and elections whose organization or results aroused international suspicion show that democratic values can quickly falter.
2021 was also the year of the first steps for space tourism, a haven that only the richest on the planet can afford at the moment.
On Tuesday, Agence France-Presse released the second part of a series of notes that attempts to summarize the end of the current year, accompanied by the best photos and videos of 2021.
