Where does climate change stand as 2026 unfolds? This Green Frequency crossover steps back from the ocean to assess the wider climate system. Climate scientist Dr. Claudio Piani and student activist Averie Gannon examine global emissions, the Paris Agreement, renewable energy progress, and why every fraction of a degree still matters. It is a grounded climate change 2026 briefing on what is improving, where the gaps remain, and why climate action is still consequential.
