Long live New Year's resolutions

Welcome to the New Year. The past year has been eventful. Have we made any progress in our efforts to achieve Net-Zero? Climate change was clearly noticeable all over the planet in 2024. Floods, drought, crop losses, storms, fires. Many people suffered from extreme weather conditions. So what are our plans for the coming year? Scientists are often warning us that these are the crucial years to determine how serious the effects of the climate catastrophe will be on us and the globe.

So what resolutions are we making?

I have read through my resolutions from 2023 and have come to the realization that I have achieved some of them, but have also failed miserably in others. I still haven't become a vegetarian and a change in my life situation means I have to use my car a lot more often than before.

Is the world like me? Partial failure, working towards it slowly? Do we have enough time for that?

This year begins with this feeling and a glimmer of hope that we can make it - if we join forces.
