My prediction is that COVID-19 may have killed any chance of serious action on climate change. I saw an estimate a few weeks ago that said that we'd need to be in the equivalent of a COVID-19 lockdown for 7-8 full years to get the temp increase to a manageable level. It's one thing to discuss action in the abstract. But now we've all had a taste of what is needed, I can't see any electorate voluntarily agreeing to that. I could be wrong but I doubt it. Also, if by inequality you mean economic inequality, the global situation is a lot better than it was 10 years ago and vastly better than it was 50 years ago. This is primarily due to China and SE Asia generally catching up.
