This document outlines actions that can be taken at the local, regional, and national levels to address climate change. It recommends steps individuals can take to mitigate climate change impacts locally, such as rainwater harvesting, using solar panels, practicing composting, planting trees, and choosing more sustainable transportation. At the regional level, it suggests cities mandate practices like rainwater harvesting in buildings and improve public transit. Nationally and globally, the document calls for supporting renewable energy, carbon capture technologies, carbon pricing, and policies to adapt to and mitigate the effects of climate change.
