A troubled but active year worldwide offers lessons, warnings, and hope for 2018, Catholic.ecology.net writes:

Second: there has been a marked focus on the practical, such as the technical details of installing renewable energy, of lowering our consumption of just about everything, and of investing ethically. Lastly, the great theme of 2016 continued and, sadly, deepened in 2017: the ongoing divide between political and ideological extremes.
