Introduction to the article: As this editorial is being written, the decade is drawing to an end. Or, perhaps more aptly, the decade is roiling to an end. Hong Kong and Chile are rocked by protests. Australia and the Amazon are burning. The President of the United States has been impeached. The United Kingdom is tearing away from the European Union (EU). India is debating its identity. Egypt and Ethiopia are locked in protracted negotiations over the future of the Nile. Children all over the world are skipping school and standing up to fight for a future where their world is not ravaged by unchecked climate change.
