global challenges
International pressing issues
Global challenges are large-scale problems affecting humanity across national borders—climate change, pandemic disease, poverty, nuclear proliferation.
The phrase implies issues too vast for any single nation to solve alone: Addressing global challenges requires international cooperation.
