1. Spread the word. Encourage your friends, family and co-workers to reduce their carbon pollution. Join a global movement like Count Us In, which aims to inspire 1 billion people to take practical steps and challenge their leaders to act more boldly on climate.
Stabilizing global temperature near its current level requires eliminating all emissions of heat-trapping gases or, equivalently, achieving a carbon-neutral society in which people remove as much carbon from the atmosphere as they emit.
There are many ways to prevent global warming from becoming worse. Many nations have put laws into place to fight climate change -- here’s what you can do.
Yes. While we cannot stop global warming overnight, we can slow the rate and limit the amount of global warming by reducing human emissions of heat-trapping gases and soot (“black carbon”).
1. Keep fossil fuels in the ground. Burning fossil fuels such as oil, gas, and especially coal, releases carbon dioxide (CO2) into the atmosphere, trapping heat and raising global...
We know that climate change is happening – but there are plenty of things individuals can do to help mitigate it. Here’s your handy guide to the most effective strategies.

Fossil fuels include coal, oil and gas – and the more that are extracted and burned, the worse climate change will get. All countries need to move their economies away from fossil fuels as soon as possible.
We must begin with stopping our runaway greenhouse gas emissions. If, by 2030, we cut our carbon emissions in about half – and, by 2050, we don’t emit any more carbon emissions than the planet can absorb each year – scientists predict that we can avoid the worst threats of climate change.
Climate action improves health, reduces inequality and bolsters the economy, something every politician cares about. And climate action – no matter how big it is or where it is taken – has a global impact, which means the actions we take locally impact the entire world.
5 Ways to CurbClimate Change. Governments, businesses, and utilities are moving toward cleaner energy. But the push to trim carbon emissions begins with changing how we live.
