Blue whales return to the Seychelles, offshore wind and electric air taxis in New York, ocelot reintroduction in Texas, flood-resilient homes in Pakistan, new battery chemistry in Sweden, and more!
What to choose among so many good developments? I think I like the Bright Ice Initiative the best. Identify the "darkest" mountain glacier and use it as a test bed. Find what applications of the beads work best then scale up to start treating ice caps, setting goals of so many new hectares per year less acreage lost to runoff and new snow fall. The problem I see is that the surface is a dynamic changing one..makes the project more difficult at large scale.
Second neat development is the Swedes and their new battery technology. Lithium prices won't always stay low!
