The Global Vaccine Alliance reports it immunized a record 73 million children in 2025 and prevented over 2.2 million deaths, approximately 6,000 per day, exceeding its target of averting 7.8 million deaths between 2021 and 2025.
Despite this success, major English-language news outlets have largely ignored the achievement, prioritizing other topics. In Gaza, child malnutrition rates have fallen significantly, halving from 16.8% in July 2025 to 8.4% in July 2026.
This improvement followed the October 2025 ceasefire, which allowed therapeutic food, treatment, and healthcare workers to reach those in need, with MedGlobal alone treating over 21,500 children. Hungary has begun to reverse policies enacted under the Orbán era, repealing homophobic sections of its 2021 “child protection” law and regaining access to EU funding including €4.2 billion released on October 13th. India has dramatically increased its clean energy capacity, reaching approximately 300 GW of renewables.
Non-fossil sources now make up over half of the country’s installed capacity, five years ahead of its original target, with $72 billion invested in the transition last year. In the United States, a program originating in Oregon in 1989 now operates in 31 states, sending mental health professionals instead of police to low-risk 911 calls, reducing police involvement by an estimated 23%.
