Shift to active citzenship

 "A growing number of people are coming to understand that in order to mitigate the worst effects of climate change, we must rapidly reduce our dependence on fossil fuels, cut harmful emissions and transition toward a zero- carbon economy.This great transition requires a new holistic understanding of the climate crisis. It is no longer simply the weather or air we breathe. The climate embodies our entire society, culture, politics, economy and environment, as they are all interconnected and interdependent."
