Ten years after the Paris Agreement, the climate transition has entered a new phase. Clean technologies are increasingly the economic choice, investment continues to shift, and renewed international cooperation at COP30 are reminders that momentum endures. Yet 2025 also showed that the context is changing. Economic pressures, geopolitical instability, and growing concerns around affordability, security and competitiveness are reshaping how climate action is discussed and delivered. Across Europe, the transition is increasingly judged on a simple question: can it improve people's daily lives while strengthening resilience and prosperity? In this environment, collaboration matters more than ever. Progress depends on connecting action across sectors, countries and communities, and on ensuring that climate solutions are practical, fair and grounded in real-world delivery. The challenge is no longer simply ambition; it is implementation. Looking ahead, keeping the spirit of Paris alive will depend on our collective ability to translate long-term goals into tangible benefits for people and communities, while maintaining the partnerships and cooperation that make progress possible. We are introducing our 2025 Annual Report, which reflects on this and what it takes to sustain momentum in a more contested world. 🔗 https://lnkd.in/eeg_JxSU
