"Two weeks into 2025 and it already feels like a turning point for climate
action – for good and bad. We start the year with news that the Earth
experienced yet another ‘warmest year on record’ and global temperatures
surpassed the 1.5-degree mark for the first time. Los Angeles is on fire in the
middle of winter, and Donald Trump is returning as US President.

The task ahead of us – phasing out the use of fossil fuels, investing in clean
energy technologies, and protecting vulnerable communities from the locked-in
impacts of climate change – remains huge.

But the task is not insurmountable and there are reasons for optimism that
fossil fuel companies will be held legally and financially responsible for the
damages caused by climate change, thanks to progress in the field of climate
attribution science."
