Every month, it feels like the world is on fire—literally and figuratively. But amid the conflict, climate chaos, and political drama, April 2025 also brought sparks of progress.
In this global recap for April, I unpack the biggest headlines—but I also zoom in on the overlooked stories of resistance, resilience, and recovery. From secret ceasefire talks to climate lawsuits shaking up the status quo, there’s more happening than meets the doomscroll.
This isn’t about sugarcoating reality—it’s about holding space for both the crisis and the courage.
