Guinness World Records 2022

Welcome to the fully revised and updated Guinness World Records 2022 – the second instalment in our collectible series with illustrator Rod Hunt!

This year, we are shining the spotlight on one of the most important issues of our time: the environment. Our records lend themselves to this hot topic as they can provide a snapshot of its many complex aspects – the good, the bad and the ugly.

We also want to encourage readers to put their own record-breaking to good – so don’t just Discover Your World, Change Your World!

Young Achievers

Whether it’s rowing an ocean, editing their own magazine or mastering freestyle football, in the Young Achievers feature we interview eight talented teens and find out why age is no barrier to becoming a record-breaker.
