It’s easy to feel daunted by the climate crisis. Just the other week, researchers warned that Europe needs to prepare for a catastrophic 3C of global heating by the end of the century, with dangerous consequences for ecosystems, food systems and daily life.
But while climate change is a global problem, it is also important to remember that we are not powerless against it. Alongside government action and international cooperation, we can do more than just sit back and wait for seawater to rise, and individual choices still matter. Understanding your own carbon footprint is one of the most practical ways to turn concern into action.
