How can we reduce the impacts of climate change?" We can't "improve" climate change itself, but we can improve the situation by reducing its causes and adapting to its effects.
Here are some of the most effective actions:
Switch to clean energy
Increase the use of solar, wind, hydro, and other low-carbon energy sources.
Reduce reliance on coal, oil, and natural gas.
Improve energy efficiency
Use energy-efficient appliances and buildings.
Insulate homes and reduce wasted electricity.
Use cleaner transportation
Walk, bike, carpool, or use public transit when possible.
Transition to electric vehicles powered by clean electricity.
Protect and restore forests
Prevent deforestation.
Plant trees and restore wetlands, which absorb carbon dioxide.
Adopt sustainable farming
Reduce food waste.
Improve soil health and use farming practices that lower greenhouse gas emissions.
Reduce, reuse, and recycle
Buy durable products.
Recycle materials and reduce unnecessary consumption.
Support climate-friendly policies
Encourage governments and businesses to invest in clean technologies and reduce emissions.
