Probably the best example of a rapid bottom-up energy transition:

Pakistan imported more Chinese solar last year than any country on earth.

No big subsidy, no rooftop scheme, no feed-in tariff. Solar is now around a quarter of electricity.

BAM! Colombia has announced a historic ban on all new oil and large-scale mining projects in its part of the Amazon Rainforest, protecting an area roughly the size of Sweden. 🌿

Experts say the move could help protect one of the planet’s most important ecosystems—often called the “lungs of the Earth.” 🌎🌳

Nature is amazing. Protect it.

Scotland just delivered one of the most powerful clean-energy statements in modern history. On multiple occasions, the country’s wind turbines generated around 200% of national electricity demand, producing far more power than Scotland itself needed.

It can be done!!!

No time to wait. #ActOnClimate #renewables

Denmark's coal-to-wind transition is one of the most dramatic energy transformations of the past three decades.

In 1990, coal provided 90% of Danish electricity. Today it is under 3%.

Wind now covers roughly 60% of electricity generation.

One of the world’s biggest wind farms is being planned in Scotland. It will provide power to five million homes, and create 6,000 full time equivalent jobs: https://t.co/LR9MHRMHCq

We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

This is incredible.

This machine is capable of cleaning up 100 million kg of plastic ocean waste, and as of 2025, it has already collected about 500,000 kg of plastic.

It aims to remove 90% of ocean plastic by 2040.

[Mike Hudema @MikeHudema]

Portugal shut down their last remaining coal fired power plant and is fostering a renewable energy revolution. They could be completely renewable by 2040 if not sooner. It can be done.

We have the solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate

HUGE moment for the EU car market as battery EVs overtake petrol cars for the first time ever

But there's no "natural" demand for EVs amirite?

While we continue to test and improve the efficiency of our ocean cleanup system, our objective this year is to scale up our river technology.

By deploying Interceptors in 30 key cities, we aim to reduce the amount of plastic flowing from rivers to the ocean by up to one-third by 2030.

Solar’s rapid, exponential growth is driving a fundamental energy transformation worldwide, moving faster than most think

Last of my charts of the year

#HappyNewYear2026 to you and yours

[Assaad Razzouk @AssaadRazzouk]

Solar is the fastest-growing source of electricity in history

It will become over 50% of all the electricity on Earth by 2036, with the battery supply chain future-proofing the solar takeover

Another one of my charts of the year

We’re on track for 4C well before this century is done.

Sometimes, being heartbroken and outraged is the only rational response.

These turbine blades are being installed at the MacIntyre Wind Farm in Australia. It will generate power for up to 700,000 homes.

We have the solutions, implement them. #ActOnClimate

Heat pumps are the most efficiency heating technology ever invented.

That's because they harvest, compress and transport pre-existing heat from the air, the ground or the water.

Compared to a gas boiler heat pumps deliver ~4x more heat for each unit of energy inout.

[Mike Hudema @MikeHudema]

This solar energy farm in Australia is made up of more than 1 million solar panels. It will produce enough energy to power over 200,000 households.

We have so many solutions. Implement them. #ActOnClimate
