Individuals need to exercise their rights both as citizens and as consumers, Robert and other experts say, putting pressure on their governments and on companies to make the system-wide changes that are needed. Another way, increasingly undertaken by universities, faith groups and recently even at a countrywide level , is to ‘divest’ funds out of polluting activities – such as avoiding stocks in fossil fuels, or banks that invest in high-emission industries. By getting rid of financial instruments related to the fossil fuel industry, organisations can both take climate action and reap economic benefits . 3. Other than that, what’s the best daily action I can take? One 2017 study co-authored by Lund University’s Nicholas ranked 148 individual actions on climate change according to their impact.
