The recent rise in concern about Covid-19 following the spread of Omicron continues in 2022. Meanwhile, inflation hits record levels of concern.

We start the year with a look at the global public’s predictions for 2022 and the latest research on the key issues ahead, including inflation, living with Covid-19, and climate change.
