Who saved 154 million lives over 50 years? @WHO Six lives per minute! The name of the hero: Immunisation Programs. Let's make sure this great example of global progress, this triumph of human collaboration, gets its deserved attention! who.int/news/item/24-0…
The public perception of #India is lagging decades behind the fast improvement. For example, the share of babies born in health facilities increased from around 52% in 2008 to around 89% by 2021. Test your misconceptions about India and other fast changing countries here:…
¿ ¿ ¿ Why would imigration increase if borders are closed ? ? ? Read @heindehaas, dismantling tons of migration misconceptions, many of which @Gapminder tested in the Refugee Misconceptions Study 2023: gapminder.org/ignorance/stud… Test yourself here: upgrader.gapminder.org/t/refugees
Then I discovered the work of #HansRosling @Gapminder. He taught me that extreme poverty & child mortality were falling & education & life expectancy were rising. I went looking for other areas where my preconceptions might be wrong... #geographyteachers theguardian.com/environment/20…
Today's improvement is: Far fewer death rows! gapminder.org/60
Some things are worse than you think! The #Gaza Famine victims are 81% of global famine-risk-population. 0.57M in Gaza are in @theIPCinfo's category 5 out of 0.7M worldwide. But as most plp overestimate suffering, and think famine is common, they don't see: Gaza is extreme!…

When the news is so bad in so many ways, it can be hard to realize the many improvements there have been to people’s living standards. See some of the positive news from the last 12 months in our list: gapminder.org/pos23 #positivenews
Today's improvement is: More than 8 years of schooling is the new normal! gapminder.org/46
There have been A LOT of extraordinary, groundbreaking developments in health this year. We have compiled some of the most amazing in our list of little known positive news from 2023: gapminder.org/pos23 #positivenews #health
Today's improvement is: More movies than ever! gapminder.org/165
Conservation can work! Just take a look at the positive nature news from the last 12 months in our list:gapminder.org/pos23 #positivenews #conservation #nature
Today's improvement is: Clean water for almost everyone! gapminder.org/37
Women and men are still not equal, but the slow march towards equality continues each year. See all the positive developments we listed from 2023: gapminder.org/news/100-posit… #positivenews #equality
Today's improvement is: A majority of people can read! gapminder.org/168
Most people understand that climate change is a big threat and many are rightly worried that the transition away from fossil fuels is too slow. But it's wrong to say nothing is happening. Take a look at the positive steps taken in 2023: gapminder.org/pos23 #positivenews
@ClimateBen You are right, a majority of plp have missed the brutal decline of Wild Vertebrates! This surprised us because almost all other environmental worsenings, people seem quite aware of. (In small experimental online surveys with 100 plp asked in the UK) upgrader.gapminder.org/q/1498
Today's improvement is: Fewer HIV infections! gapminder.org/58
The many bad things that happened in 2023 are easy to remember. But the good things are easy to forget. We have made a list of 100 positive stories from 2023 that might make you feel differently about the 12 months that went by… #positivenews gapminder.org/pos23
Today's improvement is: Much more research! gapminder.org/67
The world is full of problems, which people are often very aware of. But most people have no idea about the many improvements we have visualized, and therefore they lose hope for the future and think the world is doomed. gapminder.org/i

1. “We are currently losing species at a faster rate than in any of Earth’s past extinction events. It is probable that we are in the first phase of another, more severe mass extinction,” Corporate media are silent on the need for economic system change.dumptheguardian.com/environment/20…
@Gapminder You are not alone. A large segment of native English speakers misuse "less" and "fewer." I fear it may become the norm. But I will fight the good fight til my last, dying... Well, I'll fight, let's just leave it at that. :)
@Gapminder This is just what we need ❤️ Thanks for all of the research and everything you do.
@Gapminder "Fewer" child workers. Not less child workers. Fewer, internet. Fewer.

The world is far from perfect – it will never be – but it’s getting significantly better in many important ways.
Here's Gapminder's improvement of the day: Child labor steadily decreased until 2016, as more and more parents could afford to send their children to school. Most people don't know about this gigantic change and, therefore, they can't imagine that one day, all children could go…

1. 'Factfulness' by Hans Rosling, et al Read this to kick-start your hopeful journey! Most people systematically underestimate the advances that humans have made in recent decades, and this book argues that that means we do not believe that we can change the world. @factfulness
