Ready or not, we've reached 2025. Halfway through the #decadetodeliver.
I think this will be the year where trends that have been ‘out there’ on the horizon, ominous or promising but not yet real, become unavoidable.
Here’s a short list of ‘unavoidables’ I’ll be looking out for in 2025:

One of the interesting trends we’re seeing as cities get greener is the value of interspersed habitats, like urban tree plantings and biodiversity corridors that stretch across neighbourhoods (aka the green grid), restored urban streams and wetlands, and this beautiful example.
Small patches of wildflowers in urban areas can be just as effective as natural meadows in nurturing pollinator populations, a new study shows.
Small patches of urban wildflowers boost bee populations and biodiversity, study shows
A cultivated small urban meadow has "a similar value for pollinators as larger areas of natural meadow," the researchers found.

Well worth a read. Structural slowdown in China due to EV adoption, high-speed rail, and property sector challenges that hit diesel demand. China has been the engine of oil demand growth for 20 years. Very hard to replace it from India, SE Asia, et al. www.energypolicy.columbia.edu/chinas-slowi...
