What to do with this
All 7 actions for this lesson. Open an action to explore its tools, products and companies. Actions are ordered by impact rating.
Start here
Individual
ImpactEffortAir travel will be one of the last sectors to become low carbon. Until then, we need to reduce air travel to a minimum and choose other ground based travel modes. Especially short to mid-range flights, within one country should be replaced by train, bus or if need be a (shared, electric) car. The easy and specifics to implement this climate action will vary across the world, but within Europe it is simple and often comes with the same or faster end-to-end travel times. Ideally, domestic fossil-fuel flights are banned and train travel made reliable and cheap.
Individual
ImpactEffortOpting for alternative modes of transportation or reducing air travel within a continent helps lower greenhouse gas emissions, preserving the environment and mitigating climate change.
Individual
ImpactEffortCruise ships are major polluters and no direct sustainable alternatives are in sight (although some of the providers claim so) The best is to switch to smaller-boat sailing adventures. This is one of the "climate actions" where not doing it, is unfortunately the best option to date. The future will thank you.
Individual
ImpactEffortFlying is one of the activities where no direct sustainable alternatives are available. The best you can do is to limit intercontinental flights to as little as possible. Best once in a few years until we get zero-emission intercontinental flights. The second best option is to stay longer or combine the trip with additional activities like a workation, to get the most out of it.
Individual
ImpactEffort- Car sharing - Public transport - E-Bike or bike - etc -
Individual
ImpactEffortSome people rely on a car e.g. in rural areas or people with special needs. If you can afford an electric car and don't have a shared alternative available to you, go do the switch. While you are at it. Advocate for more shared options like public transport, bike infrastructure or car sharing. Living car free has a bigger impact than going electric with many side benefits. This will help create a fair and just world for all.
Individual
ImpactEffortElectric cars are not the sole solution. Within cities the best and fairest solution for all is to use shared services.
