Rise of Climate Change Activism Climate activism has picked up in recent years, especially with the actions of youth-led movements such as Fridays for Future, inspired by activists like Greta Thunberg. These groups bring attention to the need for urgent action on climate issues through public protests, advocacy, and education campaigns, bringing to the forefront the impacts of climate change, including extreme weather, rising sea levels, and biodiversity loss.
Activists have been asking for much greater changes in policies, such as a switch to renewable sources of energy and far-stronger rules on emissions. That momentum builds coalitions with scientists, policymakers, and educators in the movement against climate change and toward sustainable practices.
