Climate Change - What can YOUth do?

Climate change has not only been proven by scientific data globally but also by the changes we are experiencing in our local states and even local counties. The cause of climate change is believed to be anthropogenic (caused by humans), including transportation, electricity generation, manufacturing industries, agriculture, and buildings, which emit excess greenhouse gasses. Combating climate change is not the responsibility of just one country, industry or organization; it is the responsibility of all people on earth because our demands and needs both directly and indirectly boost greenhouse gas emissions from different aspects. As the future stewards of the planet, we, the Youth, need to take action, not only to be more environmentally conscious ourselves but also to take the lead on different forms of environmental education to supplement the school curriculum and ensure environmentalism is a part of the way we do things as a society. Besides, youth should advocate for resilience and adaptation to climate change to reduce the harm of hazardous events due to climate change. The climate is changing, but we have the energy and passion to help create a real, sustainable world for ourselves and future generations.
