2023 was a year full of challenges. But despite the unavoidable news about global warming, conflicts and inequality, there are reasons to be hopeful: ✔️ Deforestation in the Amazon dropped by almost half compared to 2022. ✔️ Work has advanced on a global treaty to end plastic pollution worldwide. ✔️ Solar energy has cut energy prices by 93% in the past decade and has become more accessible globally. ✔️ A greater number of girls are in school this year with more than 50 million girls enrolled since 2015. Maintaining optimism is crucial as we strive for a sustainable, safer, and fairer world. https://lnkd.in/guGZnJqp
