Former US Vice President Al Gore has said he believes 2026 could mark a turning point in the fight against climate change, suggesting this may be the year when governments, businesses and the public begin to treat the issue with the urgency long called for by scientists and advocates.
Gore, who has been one of the most prominent global voices on climate policy since his time in office, framed the coming period as a potential inflection point, though he did not lay out a single decisive event or policy shift expected to drive that change.
A long-running campaign
Gore's remarks continue a decades-long effort on his part to raise public awareness of climate change and push for stronger action from policymakers. His comments come amid continued debate over the pace of global efforts to reduce emissions and adapt to the effects of a warming planet.
Whether 2026 proves to be the turning point Gore describes will likely depend on developments across multiple fronts, including international climate negotiations, national energy policy and shifts in public and investor sentiment toward climate risk.
