99 Good News Stories You Probably Didn’t Hear About in 2020

Even during the darkest of times, there’s been hope.

 
There’s been so much loss, grief and heartbreak in 2020 that it feels almost wrong to be compiling our now traditional annual list of good news. Things can and do fall apart, and this year it felt like they really did. The hits have just kept on coming and it hasn’t just been Covid-19. There’s also been the devastating economic impacts of rolling lockdowns and the accompanying loss of livelihoods, the turbocharging of inequality, racial strife and social unrest, rising geopolitical tensions, the increasingly problematic effects of social media, the worrying spread of populism and of course the biggest issue of all – climate change and ecological collapse, with seemingly no solutions in sight.

And yet, on a planet of 7.8 billion people there’s always more than one story. You probably didn’t hear these ones because they didn’t sell advertisements or generate clicks, and that was more true this year than ever before. Progress isn’t a straight line and it doesn’t happen by magic. It depends on people who, even during the darkest of times, believe that it’s possible to make the world a better place and who are willing to roll up their sleeves to do the work, even when the cameras aren’t watching. These are their stories, and off the back of a horrible year, we think it’s more important than ever to celebrate them. We hope you agree.
