Climate change is a phenomenon that affects countries all over the world. Many people strongly believe that it is the responsibility of individuals, rather than corporations and governments, to deal with this problem. To what extent do you agree?

With the global
climate
changes, it is deemed the responsibility of solving
this
issue falls mainly to
individuals
rather than municipalities and authorities. In my view, I believe that
this
problem concerns both
individuals
and institutions;
hence
, the cooperation of all parties is essential to limit
this
phenomenon. Some
people
believe that limiting
climate
change is the citizens' responsibility
instead
of nations' leaders because
people
are part of the majority of these environmental damages.
For example
,
people
would prefer driving their cars even if they know very well the impact of burning fossil fuels on the environment.
However
, citizens can't control the hazardous gases emitted by factories and are not in a place to

national decisions
such
as censoring the disposing of the industry's toxic wastes.
Therefore
, municipalities,
along with
federal
governments
, are the main ones responsible for saving their countries and the world from these threatening situations.
Governments
can control
individuals
' actions by legislating new laws that protect the environment and creating new alternatives that can lessen the damage done in order to limit
climate
change and its threats to the human race.
For instance
,
governments
can encourage citizens to use eco-friendly options as means of transport to reduce their carbon footprint and can introduce laws to regulate the emission of greenhouse gases by companies.
In addition
, the provincial could improve the public transport services in a way that draws more
people
to use it;
thus
, the cars' emissions would be tackled. There are many reasons why leaders and lawmakers should take part in resolving
this
issue. In conclusion,
climate
change is a universal phenomenon that needs the cooperation of everyone, starting from
individuals
to local and federal
governments
, if it is to be tackled.
