What are some of the ✨positive✨ news of the first half of 2024?

While the climate crisis continues to deliver plenty of bad news, it's important to also remember the progress we’re making.

This year, the world’s renewable energy capacity has grown at a record pace, and the EU has adopted a new Nature Restoration Law aiming to restore 20% of degraded ecosystems by 2030. 🌱

Let’s keep pushing forward, acknowledging the challenges but also celebrating the victories on our road to a greener future. 🌿
