Animals are adapting in surprising ways, leading to consequences for both ecosystems and human societies. The urgency and complexity of climate action in Asia is underscored by a series of widely read stories on flood control scandals, indigenous resistance against palm oil bulldozers, and a Malaysian climate watchdog's legal actions regarding greenwashing oversight. Additionally, the detrimental consequences of Trump's funding cuts for climate agencies are brought to the fore, with experts warning of the significant disservice to both Americans and the global community. Hydrogen emissions are highlighted as 'supercharging' the warming impact of methane, emphasizing the critical need to address this overlooked aspect in climate change projections. Looking to the future, a report on the trends shaping sustainability in the Asia-Pacific region in 2026 stands out, including the potential surge of clean power for cross-border electricity trade and the environmental impacts of the AI boom. The push for green jobs, a 30% reduction target in plastic waste by 2030 in South Korea, and the decline of coal demand in China, which outweighs pro-coal policies, are further testaments to the ongoing shifts towards sustainability in the region.
