Climate action doesn't have to be complicated and there is a lot each of us can do. Our individual choices, consumer options, how we move, what we eat, can contribute to reach net-zero carbon emissions by 2040.
Here are some simple examples of climate action:
> Plant trees and support reforestation efforts.
> Reduce energy consumption at home by using energy-efficient appliances and turning off lights when not in use.
> Cycle or walk to work or school, or use public transportation.
> Invest in renewable energy sources like solar panels or wind turbines for your home or business.
> Reduce, reuse, and recycle to minimize waste and conserve resources.
> Conserve water by fixing leaks, taking shorter showers, and using water-saving appliances.
> Adopt a plant-based diet or reduce meat consumption to lower carbon emissions from agriculture.
> Educate yourself and others about climate change and its impacts.
> Support policies and initiatives that promote sustainability and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
> Advocate for protecting and preserving natural habitats and biodiversity.
