Human-caused climate change has far-reaching impacts on society and our environment.

Check out the latest report on birds by Climate Central: https://www.climatecentral.org/climate-matters/birds-at-risk-2026 🐦

Norway is at ~100% EVs for new sales, but 7 out of every 10km driven in 2024 was reliant on fossil fuels. Cars stick around for decades - so change is slow.
