This is a great question – and a really important one. Its really easy to feel like climate change is too big a problem for us to tackle as individuals. However if we all make small changes, such as using more public transport, that will make a difference.
Having said that, I firmly believe that to tackle climate change, we need go stop big buisnesses polluting and causing climate change. This is a hard thing to do, and is likely only to be done through government intervention, and to influence government, we have to make it a pressing issue that everyone cares about. Therefore, in answer to your (fantastic) question, Id say the most important thing we can do is be passionate about stopping climate change, and talk to everyone we know about it, and try and educate as many people as we can, and hopefully if we all do that, it will help make bigger changes we need.

Ok, is there a petition for that?

Hi Mikkel, As climate change is such a big issue, with impacts on all parts of society, there are so many different campaigns and petitions to get involved with.
I’ve linked some websites with resources and ideas below 🙂 something you could do is write to your MP and tell them that you care about climate change, and tell them you want them to do something about it. When I was 8 I wrote to the prime minister at the time, and his secretary wrote back to me! You should be able to get a response from them!
