Why am I not surprised? We’re starting 2025 just as we ended 2024—with masks dropping everywhere. From Big Oil slashing investments in green energy, to U.S. banks walking back on sustainability-linked loans, to the EU's push for an omnibus that could weaken already fragile regulations. And let’s not even get started on carbon markets turning into a growing scam.

Maybe it’s a good thing? Clarity can be painful, but it’s better than living in illusions. Time to take the reins ourselves—invest consciously, act decisively, and demand accountability.

This is my wish for all of us in 2025: that we see things as they are, not as we wish they were, and have the courage to drive the change we need.

Apologies if this sounds overly philosophical—blame it on the rainy Brussels weather. It does things to a person!
