What are the most pressing world problems?

Abstract

This webpage, a resource for career planning and decision making, provides a list of the most pressing global problems facing the world. It argues that these issues, which include risks posed by artificial intelligence, catastrophic pandemics, nuclear weapons, and climate change, are both “big in scale” and “highly neglected,” and should therefore be prioritized by those seeking to make a positive difference in the world. The webpage also includes lists of less-developed but equally pressing problems, as well as those that are underinvested in. In addition to the lists, the webpage offers a framework for prioritizing problems and a detailed guide for developing a career plan based on personal values and career goals. – AI-generated abstract.
