In South Africa, turning on the tap isn’t so simple. A growing crisis has opened the door to underground water markets, where access comes at a price—and control can mean power. In the United Kingdom, family courts are being rewritten in real time. The focus is shifting to children’s safety—but will the system keep up with its promise? And that chocolate bar in your hand? Its story starts in West Africa, where climate pressure is quietly reshaping what the world tastes—one ingredient at a time.
