Content: Individual and political action
This type of activism is aimed at reducing greenhouse gases (GHG) concentration in the atmosphere. The main goal is to reduce the effects of climate change. The activists also look at the ethical aspects of climate justice in regard to climate change adaptation. The political action and stance taken by individual activists will lead to a change in laws and regulations that are directly related to climate change. The individual or group championing for this change come up with solutions aimed at a reduction in GHG emissions. The solutions put forward are the carbon tax or carbon pricing. Activist groups in the U.S such as the Bipartisan Legislative Climate Solutions Caucus have come forward in support of the proposed solutions to GHG emissions problem. Other groups are the Citizens Climate Lobby. In addition, 50 NGOs formed a coalition in 2005 called the Stop Climate Chaos. It was launched in Britain and its main objectives were to tackle the issue of climate change.
