There are a few states and cities that have passed heat rules protecting workers this year. And drumroll, the Biden administration proposed a national heat standard for workers, basically a rule that would require employers to protect workers when it's really hot outside. That idea, it's been bopping around as like since the 1970s. So it's a pretty big deal that it moved forward at all.

Yeah, that's definitely a big thing for 2025. Like you said, next year's annual climate conferences, the COPs, it's going to be a big one. And countries are coming up with new plans for how to cut emissions right now that they'll be rolling out in the next couple of months.

And those new goals, they're going to need to be much more ambitious than the ones that exist already, if there's any hope of keeping warming below 1.5 or even 2 C. And then, of course, there's a really big question mark right now about what the U.S. will do climate-wise. President-elect Trump has said that he'll pull the U.S. back out of the Paris Agreement.

That's something he did during his first term in office, too. And some of the people that Trump has nominated to run federal agencies are saying that they want to eliminate a lot of the climate-focused programs that have been developed in the last couple years. So we'll all be following these efforts at the federal level to de-emphasize climate action.

But at the same time, we also expect there to be a lot more action happening at the state and local level, which is really interesting. Thank you.
