Reasons to be positive heading into 2024
Happy New Year! Let’s start the year on a positive note. Yes, 2023 wasn’t a great year for climate action but there are reasons to be hopeful as we head into 2024. Here are a few of them:
Global renewable energy capacity grew by the fastest pace recorded in the last 20 years in 2023, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA)
The IEA also said the shift to renewable energy was unstoppable and could provide half of all electricity generated by 2023
Some climate analysts predicted 2023 was the year global carbon emissions from energy use peaked
There are a few countries that are already at net zero emissions
While more action is required, the good news is that the solutions exist, all that is lacking is the political will. That’s where we can all play a part - we need to make our voices heard.
