Despite global challenges, climate tech continues to advance in 2025. Falling clean energy costs, strong government policies, corporate commitments, and resilient investment are driving progress. Innovations in hard-to-abate sectors, growing consumer demand, and expanding carbon markets further support optimism. Public activism and startup resilience ensure continued momentum towards a sustainable future.
We recently marked our third birthday at Climate Salad! These kinds of milestones are always a great time to celebrate achievements and reflect on goals.
