How to build support for ambitious climate action in 4 steps

Phys.Org · last updated
Build political support. Enduring, transformative climate action requires integrating social, economic and environmental policies holistically, so that institutions can better serve their citizens. Copenhagen, Denmark, is a model city with a climate plan that integrates climate action, urban investment and job growth to create a liveable sustainable city. This can enhance the support necessary for sustaining climate action beyond the introduction of a technology. The communities that will be most severely affected by climate impacts or from climate action must be supported with concrete resources.
