10 years ago Planeta Futuro was born. Since then, the development section of EL PAÍS has become a wonderful and unique creature in the Spanish-language press. It is, for the millions of readers who follow us, a reference. Thank you. With your loyalty you have shown that what happens in the countries of the global South, often outside the news spotlight, matters. That innovative ideas and inspiring people are also born there and that everyone’s future is also written in African cities, in Asian fields and in American jungles.
In these 10 years we have talked about global health, the distribution of resources, how the climate emergency hits those who have the least and pollute the least. We have accompanied the fight of so many women and minorities for equality and human rights and we have denounced corporate abuses around the world. In short, we try to keep pace with a world that changes at an accelerated pace and we do it from the field, with the help of special envoys and local reporters, whose perspective is very valuable to us. Coming to tell it and to inform you, demanding and aware readers of the exceptional nature of this project. We are committed to you, to the readers. This year and those to come we will continue looking to the future.
