Animal welfare, global health & development, and climate change mitigation are areas where quick actions exist with outsized impact.
Roughly 47 billion factory-farmed animals experience unbearable suffering for their entire lives every year. Helping them appears to yield a remarkable reduction of suffering per unit of time or money invested.
The world bank estimates about 646 million people worldwide live in extreme poverty, earning less than $1.20 per day (adjusted for purchasing power) and lack basic necessities. Around 10 million people die annually (27,000 every day) from cheaply and easily preventable diseases. These actions & charitable funds show a verifiable effect.
Climate Change will likely claim numerous lives and cause substantial suffering—especially since its effects may span well into the future. Not to mention, it has already begun worsening and extending extreme poverty. Thankfully, there are well-evidenced, cost-effective, and neglected mitigation tactics.
