This includes supporting the right for women to work outside of the home, and be hired for leadership positions. New research from the NHH Norwegian School of Economics and other universities looked at survey responses from more than 60,000 people representing 60 different counties - and found that in 41 countries, 90% of people around support basic rights for women.

‍ New research shows there is far more support for women’s rights around the world than people think Still, this hopeful shift ought to be a reminder that change is possible - and limiting warming is entirely achievable. The energy industry still emits far too much carbon dioxide, and recent extreme weather events put a spotlight on how the climate is already changing rapidly. What’s the nuance? The IEA’s latest report also found that almost all countries need to move up their target net zero dates - for most, it’s 2050, and for some key countries like India and China, it’s 2070. That’s according to Fatih Birol, energy economist and the executive director of the International Energy Agency, who said he feels “more optimistic than I felt two years ago” about limiting warming to 1.5C despite the challenges that remain.Īccording to Birol, clean energy investments have seen a “staggering” 40% increase in the last two years, and are “perfectly in line” with where they should be to reach net zero by 2050, a key target in limiting warming.

For years, the world was not on track to meet that, but thanks to a recent boost in investments in renewable energy, electric vehicles, and more - it’s more possible than ever. To avoid the worst, most catastrophic impacts of the climate crisis, it’s long been established that the world needs to stay below 1.5 degrees Celsius of warming. ‍ The Best Positive News We’re Celebrating This Week - The leader of the world's top energy agency just said the recent ‘staggering’ growth of investments in clean energy gives real hope for limiting global heating
