What went right this week: the good news that matters

Here are summaries of the three recent positive news stories you shared:

1. **Nepal’s Tiger Population Rises Sharply**
Nepal’s latest tiger census shows the population has grown to 429, more than triple the number recorded in 2009. Nepal became the first country to meet a global 2010 pledge to double tiger populations by 2022. Global tiger numbers have increased from 3,200 in 2010 to around 5,500 due to determined conservation efforts. Nonetheless, threats like poaching and habitat loss persist, so ongoing momentum and protection are essential.

2. **Germany Hits a Green Energy Milestone**
In 2025, Germany generated more electricity from wind and solar (44%) than from fossil fuels (43%) for the first time. This marks a significant shift despite some political opposition. The achievement reflects wider trends in the European Union toward clean energy. Germany plans to phase out coal power by 2038, though some climate groups consider this timeline too slow.

3. **UK’s Rooftop Solar Revolution**
The UK set a new record for solar power generation, with solar providing 14.4% of electricity in July 2026, surpassing the previous 12.4% in May and a considerable increase from 9.6% the previous July. More rooftop solar installations were added in the first half of 2026 than any period since the government introduced its feed-in tariff in 2011. Solar energy has become a major and reliable part of the UK’s electricity mix.
