Did everyone just stop working together on climate change? Well, no, but you probably wouldn't get that impression from the news. So, here's what's happened so far in 2026. First off, Canada has struck a lot of international deals. They've agreed to work with Germany in improving battery supply chains. They've agreed to expand their trade with Japan in energy projects and critical mineral supplies. And they've made a deal with China that will reduce the tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles, helping speed up EV rollout. In return, China is lowering tariffs on some Canadian agricultural produce like canola. But, Canada's not the only one striking deals. The UK has made quite a lot, too. We struck a deal with California on clean energy, carbon pricing, and climate adaptation. We formed an understanding with China to collaborate on clean energy deployment, including offshore wind, battery storage, and hydrogen. And we joined a European offshore wind farm plan that's going to build a 100 gigawatt grid on the North Sea, connecting countries together with subsea cables. And yet, still, there's even more deals flying around. Germany and Denmark agreed to connect their energy grids. Turkey and Saudi Arabia agreed a solar power deal that will power 2 million homes. Brazil and India struck a deal to work closely on securing and processing critical minerals. And in response to the oil shock from the Iran war, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations have stated their strong intent to diversify energy sources and supply routes, particularly through biofuels and renewable energy. There's a lot that can happen when countries agree to work together. Energy grids get more balancing options when you get renewable energy source from different places. Collaborating on supply chains means the process of getting solar panels, batteries, and electric vehicles becomes easier. And don't forget that emissions are a cumulative problem. So, everybody benefits from any cuts made now. So, working together towards this common goal makes sense, which is why the majority of the world is still doing so, even if a select few aren't.
