Nuala McGovern asks some of the BBC's top correspondents from around the world to gaze into their crystal balls and predict what 2024 might have in store.
2023 has been dominated by the conflicts in Ukraine and Israel and Gaza and a global cost of living crisis. Next year will see nearly half of the world's population going to the polls - 40 elections are scheduled to take place next year, in countries including the USA, UK, South Africa, India, Russia and Pakistan.
How will the results of some of those elections shift the geopolitical tectonic plates - and will we see any resolution to those conflicts?
Big questions, but luckily we have some of the BBC's best minds on hand to provide plenty of answers.
