Educating oneself should be an action taken throughout each step of activism. Especially with complex and interdisciplinary topics like climate change, we must take the extra steps to learn about the intricacies of the issue.
In order to stimulate active and sustained changes, it is extremely important to be educated not only on the global environment, but also region-specific issues relating to social, cultural or political factors in your local community. With a deeper understanding about why sustainability is not already an inherent part of the society, it becomes easier to combat stigma and push for both individual and systemic change.
