STAYING TRUE
TO OUR
PATH
To say global affairs have been reshaped by
seismic upheavals in the past year would be an
understatement. Conventions that have long
governed trade and politics have been uprooted.
Thinking on everything from the environment
and defence to diversity and inclusion is being
challenged. People are more polarised.1 The political
landscape is fragmenting.2
All this comes as we digest the clearest evidence
yet of how human activity is changing the climate:
2024 was the warmest year ever recorded3 and the
first year in which the global average temperature
was 1.5°C warmer than pre-industrial levels.3 Given
that this was the ‘point of no return’4 net zero policies
were developed to help us avoid, it would be easy to
become despondent, regardless of your politics.
