If You Have the Time

If you’re interested in climate change what are some of the things you can do with your time to contribute to tackling climate change. The options are many, and we’ve only listed some of them here. In some cases we’ve added links to papers and news stories, and in some cases links into the Climate Web itself, that are particularly pertinent.

Become Politically Active


Activism and Civil Disobedience

Activism and civil disobedience have been very small parts of individual action on climate change to date. As climate change worsens, however, and more and more people get frustrated by the absence of the necessary policies and measures to tackle climate change, it is likely that such activism will grow in importance.

Shaming for the Climate

You may be surprised to learn that there is a literature around the topic of "shaming" for climate change, although not really in the context of "how to shame as an individual." It's notable that #Flightshaming in particular has exploded as a hashtag and topic of conversation recently, and has the attention of global airlines. #Cruiseshaming doesn't exist yet, but cannot be far behind!
