    The document outlines several solutions to climate change that can help reduce greenhouse gas emissions to zero. These include investing in renewable energy, sustainable transport like electric vehicles, improving farming practices and encouraging plant-based diets, reducing consumption, and reducing plastic usage. Individual actions are important but the best way to create change is through collective action by pressuring governments and businesses to change policies and practices.

    WHAT ARE THE

    SOLUTIONS TO
    CLIMATE
    CHANGE?
    An Action Plan prepared by:
    Erica Pauline P. Bermillo
    ■ Climate change is happening now, and it’s the most serious threat to life on our planet.
    Fortunately, there are plenty of solutions to climate change, they are well-understood.

    ■ In 2015, world leaders signed a major treaty called the Paris agreement, to put these
    solutions into practice.

    ■ Core to all climate change solutions is reducing greenhouse gas emissions, which must
    get to zero as soon as possible.

    ■ Because both forests and oceans play vitally important roles in regulating our climate,
    increasing the natural ability of forests and oceans to absorb carbon dioxide can also
    help stop global warming.
    The main ways to stop climate change are to
    pressure the government and business to:

    ■ Invest in renewable energy.


    Changing our main energy sources to clean and renewable energy is the best way to stop
    using fossil fuels. These include technologies like solar, wind, wave, tidal and geothermal
    power.

    ■ Switch to sustainable transport.


    Petrol and diesel vehicles, planes and ships use fossil fuels. Reducing car use, switching to
    electric vehicles and minimizing plane travel will not only help stop climate change, it will
    reduce air pollution too.
    The main ways to stop climate change are to
    pressure the government and business to:

    ■ Improve farming and encourage vegan diets.


    One of the best ways for individuals to help stop climate change is by reducing their meat
    and dairy consumption, or by going fully vegan. Businesses and food retailers can improve
    farming practices and provide more plant-based products to help people make the shift.

    ■ Reduce how much people consume.


    Our transport, fashion, food and other lifestyle choices all have different impacts on the
    climate. This is often by design – fashion and technology companies, for example, will
    release far more products than are realistically needed. But while reducing consumption of
    these products might be hard, it’s most certainly worth it. Reducing overall consumption in
    more wealthy countries can help put less strain on the planet.
    The main ways to stop climate change are to
    pressure the government and business to:

    ■ Reduce plastic.
    Plastic is made from oil, and the process of extracting, refining and turning oil into plastic
    (or even polyester, for clothing) is surprisingly carbon-intense. It doesn’t break down
    quickly in nature so a lot of plastic is burned, which contributes to emissions. Demand for
    plastic is rising so quickly that creating and disposing of plastics will account for 17% of
    the global carbon budget by 2050 (this is the emissions count we need to stay within
    according to the Paris agreement).
    ■ Individuals can also play a part by making better choices about where they get
    their energy, how they travel, and what food they eat. But the best way for
    anyone to help stop climate change is to take collective action. This means
    pressuring governments and corporations to change their policies and business
    practices.

    ■ Governments want to be re-elected. And businesses can’t survive without


    customers. Demanding action from them is a powerful way to make change
    happen.
