Addressing climate change at its roots

Climate change is a global challenge, with discussions tending to focus on the greenhouse gas emissions of countries or regions. Governments must impose solutions, but it is also essential that climate change be addressed sustainably at the human level. Developing a sense of ownership and accountability begins with explicit acknowledgement that it is the behaviour and lifestyles of individuals and the societies in which they live that are ultimately responsible for the emissions that drive climate change.
