The planet is about 1.3 °C warmer, and warming continues as long as emissions do. Energy and food are the two biggest levers, for each of us and for society.

2Try today

Pick one: a plant-based day each week, a train instead of a short flight, or switching to a green energy supplier.

3Keep it going

Talk about it with people around you, and support groups pushing for clean energy, such as Citizens’ Climate Lobby or Climate Action Network Europe.

🤝 What we can do as a society

1The idea

Clean energy everywhere, and a food system with far fewer animals. Solar and wind are now among the cheapest electricity in most of the world. A fair carbon price, with the money returned to people, makes clean choices the cheap ones.

2What it would change

Low-carbon sources already make just over 40% of the world’s electricity. Food causes roughly a quarter to a third of greenhouse gas emissions, so changing what we eat matters almost as much as changing energy.

3How to push for it

Vote with climate in mind, ask your representatives for a fair carbon price and support for clean energy, and back the organisations already working on it.
