Climate activism refers to efforts aimed at raising awareness and promoting action to address climate change and its impacts. Activists work to educate the public about environmental issues, advocate for policy changes, and encourage sustainable practices. They often organize events, campaigns, and protests to draw attention to the urgency of the climate crisis.
Many climate activists are inspired by scientific research, including reports from organizations like the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). They may also support movements such as Fridays for Future, initiated by young activist Greta Thunberg, which calls for immediate action to combat climate change and protect the planet for future generations.
