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.
