And ideas that are presented\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/commentisfree\/2019\/mar\/18\/ending-climate-change-end-capitalism\">can be seem as extreme to some<\/a>. This is despite the fact that many experts agree that to really tackle climate change, the focus needs to be on changing the capitalist system to make it more environment-friendly.<\/p>\n<p>System change can sound scary, but as the current system drives social injustice and environmental destruction, a new approach to\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.ippr.org\/research\/publications\/age-of-environmental-breakdown\">address both<\/a>is called for. These are some suggestions to help build that new system which also aim to improve people\u2019s lives in the process.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>1. Less focus on economic growth<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>The suggestion that\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.economist.com\/briefing\/2016\/04\/30\/the-trouble-with-gdp\">GDP is a good measure of a country\u2019s progress<\/a>\u00a0has been frequently challenged. To achieve growth, we consume more products, these products need raw materials and energy to produce \u2013 and often result in excessive waste when they are disposed of. Hence pursuit of economic growth drives a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eea.europa.eu\/themes\/waste\">wasteful use of scarce resources<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Achieving growth isn\u2019t necessarily bad \u2013 but focusing solely on growth is. it prevents many other important strategies being put in place, even if they are actually beneficial for the majority of society. As economist Kate Raworth states, we need to be \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=5zkqGEaztRM\">agnostic about economic growth<\/a>\u201d and embrace other measures of societal well-being, such as the\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/hdr.undp.org\/en\/content\/human-development-index-hdi\">Human Development Index<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/dnr.maryland.gov\/mdgpi\/Pages\/default.aspx\">Genuine Progress Indicator<\/a>, which combine financial gains with non-market benefits \u2013 such as human health and reduced environmental degradation.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>2. Higher taxes and subsidised transport<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Incremental increases in tax (for example on fuel), without alternatives,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.eea.europa.eu\/data-and-maps\/indicators\/fuel-prices-and-taxes\/assessment-2\">do little to change behaviour<\/a>. Instead, it just increases the financial burden on the less well-off \u2013 this being one factor behind the recent \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/gilets-jaunes-why-the-french-working-poor-are-demanding-emmanuel-macrons-resignation-107742\">yellow vests<\/a>\u201d (gilets jaunes) protests in France. To achieve rapid and fair changes in consumer behaviour, there needs to be\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.vox.com\/energy-and-environment\/2018\/7\/20\/17584376\/carbon-tax-congress-republicans-cost-economy\">large tax increases on the most environmentally damaging products<\/a>\u00a0to turn them from everyday items into luxury goods. This would include air travel, fossil fuels and red meat.<\/p>\n<p>We also need to ensure environmentally sound alternatives are available and heavily subsidised. This would see subsidised and reliable public transport, car share schemes to allow occasional use of cars, bike hire, and subsidies on fresh vegetables and meat alternatives \u2013 all of which would help people easily transition to a more (environmentally) healthy lifestyle.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_47756\" style=\"width: 690px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47756\" src=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/bikeshare.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"453\" class=\"size-full wp-image-47756\" srcset=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/bikeshare.jpg 680w, https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/bikeshare-250x167.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-47756\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Bike-sharing schemes could help to save the world. Shutterstock<\/p><\/div><\/p>\n<h4><strong>3. Work less<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>From an environmental perspective, working less \u2013 whether a four-day week, or working only a proportion of the year \u2013 has\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/theundercoverrecruiter.com\/4-day-work-week\/\">many benefits<\/a>. Less commuting to work, more time to cook healthy food and more time to take holidays, without the need for flying. The reduction in household income also means less opportunity for over-consumption of \u201cluxury\u201d goods that drive economic growth without adding much value to society.<\/p>\n<p>Plans for a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/neweconomics.org\/uploads\/files\/Working-week-briefing.pdf\">four-day work week<\/a>\u00a0and a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2018\/jun\/12\/universal-basic-income-and-rewilding-can-meet-anthropocene-demands\">universal basic income<\/a>\u00a0would also help to create greater levels of meaningful employment, safeguard people\u2019s mental health and reduce societal inequality \u2013 as well as providing more leisure and family time.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>4. Think locally<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Few people can really identify with the scale of deforestation in Asia for palm oil, or in the Amazon for cattle farms. This is why, to really tackle climate change, we need to think locally and understand the impact of our behaviours on our communities.\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.communityfarms.ca\/\">Farming<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.uk\/guidance\/community-energy#what-is-community-energy\">energy production<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wasteaid.org\/toolkit\/\">waste disposal<\/a>\u00a0are obvious examples.<\/p>\n<p>Localised processes can also be more environmentally sound. Recent research on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.elementascience.org\/articles\/10.1525\/elementa.346\/\">small-scale coastal fisheries<\/a>\u00a0across the globe suggests that if we rely on these for fish \u2013 rather than large-scale industrial fishing \u2013 we can dramatically increase fish stocks, increase food security in developing countries and improve the local economies of fishing towns in countries such as the UK.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>5. Learn about nature and look after it<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>There is a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/greatergood.berkeley.edu\/article\/item\/how_modern_life_became_disconnected_from_nature\">disconnect from the natural world<\/a>, exemplified even in academic and policy circles with the monetisation of nature through \u201cecosystem services\u201d and how they contribute to human well-being \u2013 by providing food, water, wood and medicines, for example. All of which, puts a price on nature \u2013 by defining the Earth\u2019s resources as \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/theconversation.com\/nature-is-priceless-which-is-why-turning-it-into-natural-capital-is-wrong-65189\">natural capital<\/a>\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>We need to appreciate nature for what it is \u2013 and protect it now.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenparty.org.uk\/news\/2018\/09\/21\/caroline-lucas-calls-for-natural-history-gcse-ahead-of-people%E2%80%99s-walk-for-wildlife-with-chris-packham\/\">Teaching natural history in schools<\/a>\u00a0is a good place to start.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/environment\/2019\/apr\/03\/a-natural-solution-to-the-climate-disaster\">Protecting, restoring and rewilding ecosystems<\/a>\u00a0on a large scale will also enhance biodiversity, store carbon and reduce pollution \u2013 three of the major environmental\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.stockholmresilience.org\/research\/planetary-boundaries\/planetary-boundaries\/about-the-research\/the-nine-planetary-boundaries.html\">planetary boundaries<\/a>\u00a0\u2013 or safe environmental limits \u2013 we have greatly exceeded.<br \/>\n<div id=\"attachment_47757\" style=\"width: 690px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-47757\" src=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/childwithtree.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"680\" height=\"453\" class=\"size-full wp-image-47757\" srcset=\"https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/childwithtree.jpg 680w, https:\/\/world.edu\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/childwithtree-250x167.jpg 250w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 680px) 100vw, 680px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-47757\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Learning an appreciation and respect for nature is key to tackling climate change.

Don\u2019t just rely on technology<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.weforum.org\/agenda\/2017\/01\/tech-innovations-save-us-from-climate-change\/\">Technological advances<\/a>\u00a0such as renewable energy, electric vehicles and smart cities are important steps to reduce our carbon emissions. But they are not the only \u201csolution\u201d to climate change.<\/p>\n<p>Manufacturing\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.co.uk\/article\/lithium-batteries-environment-impact\">lithium ion batteries<\/a>, solar panels and turbines has an environmental cost, too. And, in the same way, changing your car to an electric vehicle is likely to have a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/football\/ng-interactive\/2017\/dec\/25\/how-green-are-electric-cars?\">bigger short-term carbon footprint<\/a>\u00a0than running your current car. This is why technological advances must be used in conjunction with lifestyle changes if we want to transform our society in an environmentally and socially just manner.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, this is not an exhaustive list, but serves as a starting place to show how environmental issues can be addressed and at the same time we can create a fairer and more just society. A society with more free time, more interaction with our local communities and better physical and mental well-being. The future is only scary if we continue on our current path.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Author Bios:<\/strong> Rick Stafford is a Professor of Marine Biology and Conservation at Bournemouth University and Peter JS Jones is a Reader in Environmental Governance at UCL<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Nobel Peace Prize nominee\u00a0Greta Thunberg claims we need system change\u00a0to save the planet, and the majority of experts, from the\u00a0IPCC, through to our\u00a0own research, would certainly agree with this.
