The Global Solidarity Report 2025 confronts the world’s biggest test – a net-zero transition and argues that the climate crisis is fundamentally a solidarity crisis. Despite clear technical pathways to phase down fossil fuels and accelerate the transition to clean energy, global solidarity has collapsed to perilous lows and puts this task in jeopardy.  

This year the numbers are alarming. Global solidarity has been in decline for more than a decade and has now reached 33 out of a possible 100. And it is the first time the report’s public polling by Ipsos shows a drop in agreement with every solidarity question across generations, genders, income groups, and in wealthier and poorer countries. 

Today, the incentive to prioritise narrow national or political interests over humanity’s shared future are far too strong. So what do those of us who to solve global problems like net zero do in a low solidarity world?  The report explains history teaches us how we need groups of people taking action to create powerful ripple effects that make more and more people believe change is possible. Eventually solidarity is built and becomes strong enough to unlock transformational change. It provides two ‘big bets’ for 2025 that it argues are the kind of action that can move the needle on both climate progress and solidarity at large.
