'Those in service to others fundamentally understand that humans can solve the problems they create,' the author writes.
The impacts of climate change touch every sector and person on our planet. It is an issue that seems impossible to solve, especially if you do not see the solutions in action. After working in government and participating at the United Nations for more than a decade, I’ve seen a major shift in the way people speak about climate change … and it gives me hope.
Now that most people understand that climate change will impact us, we must address a new climate-related concern: the belief that we are not going to solve climate change.The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change recently released another report with an urgent call to action for all sectors, especially policymakers, to do more about reducing our reliance on fossil fuels.
This message of concern is not getting from the electorate to our local leaders. There are dozens of incentives, grants and fiscally responsible funding mechanisms available for climate mitigation and adaptation for communities in New Jersey. Yet, because they do not hear from their constituents on the issue, some local officials do not feel that it is important enough to talk about climate change as part of their campaign.
