#GIJC17 Digging into developmental issues

Despite progress made on global development goals over the past generation -- in curtailing poverty and bringing clean water, food, education health care, and gender equality to millions -- the world still has far to go. Massive disparities exist -- and are growing worse -- between the rich and poor. Human rights and rule of law, absent in too many countries, are losing ground almost everywhere. Climate change threatens to exacerbate environmental and economic challenges. Here are journalists in the trenches of the battle over development, writing on the exploitation of resources, unbalanced trade, a new green revolution, health care, and more.
