My favorites:
73% of people globally feel safe walking alone at night, the highest ever recorded
UN high seas treaty ratified, allowing for nations to extend major protections to marine environments
Extreme poverty falling
China, once one of the major emitters, is investing heavily in green and renewable energy
India's tiger populations has doubled in the last decade
Amazon deforestation in Brazil is at its lowest level in 11 years
No orphan-crushing machines here
