Max Fawcett, tells us why, despite lots of negatives for the climate in 2025, he is remaining optimistic about our climate futures.
He boils it down to the “clean technology revolution that is being increasingly powered by China” that “will not, and cannot, be stopped.” Not only are “the growing array of low-carbon technologies like solar, battery storage and electric vehicles going to replace both the guts of our global economy and the gears of day-to-day lives” but they are coming “whether our elected officials want them to or not.”
So if you live in a country where the fight against climate change might, at times be stymied, take heart that renewables and the technologies around them are a behemoth of commerce, innovation and future-proofed advances that will continue to impact change.
Although Fawcett is writing about Canada when he suggests that the nation should “embrace the economic and technological future that is so clearly emerging in the rest of the world, and participate in it as fully as possible” that sounds like good advice for any country that doesn’t want to get left behind.
