** 72
------------------------------------------------------------
The number of intermediate-range ballistic missiles (IRBM) launchers in China’s arsenal grew from zero in 2015 to 72 in 2020. This accounts for roughly 56 percent of the growth in China’s total conventional missile arsenal over this period.

** 43%
------------------------------------------------------------
43% of North Korea's population is already malnourished, making them vulnerable to infectious diseases. While a disaster from the standpoint of public health, Covid-19 could actually spur diplomatic progress with North Korea—if not a breakthrough deal in denuclearization.

** $16
------------------------------------------------------------
Each dollar invested in peacebuilding could save as much as $16 in the overall cost of conflict, to say nothing of the civilian and military lives saved.

** 1 billion
------------------------------------------------------------
Worldwide, nearly 1 billion people each year fail to access sufficient quantities or quality of food, vitamins, and minerals to fulfill their daily energy and nutrient needs for optimal health. Covid-19 has placed additional pressure on global nutrition challenges.
