Consumer behavior significantly influences climate change. The choices individuals make regarding energy use, transportation, diet, and consumption of goods and services play a huge part in either mitigating or exacerbating climate change and its effects.
As we celebrate World Consumer Rights Day today, let us take a moment to reflect and honestly assess our current consumer behavior.
Let this day also serve as an encouragement for everyone to adopt sustainable consumption patterns, which can greatly reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help mitigate climate change.
Happy World Consumer Rights Day from the Climate Change Commission!
