The Guardian asked hundreds of the world’s top climate scientists for their views on the most effective actions combating climate-ecological breakdown. The top 5 actions were:

1. Vote for representatives who pledge strong climate action.

2. Reduce flying and fossil fuel-powered transport in favour of electric and public transport.

3. Reduce meat consumption.

4. Reduce home heating or cooling emissions.

5. Join a campaign or protest group.

@GeofCox thank you very much. I now realise it states that it was a survey on the image you shared, too!

Makes sense, but I wonder if we'd have seen more radical responses without that guiding framework.
