The climate crisis needs to be urgently addressed. Eventually, this is a crisis of overconsumption. Of course, we need policy changes that will create a low carbon economy. But we need action at the individual level as well: identify appropriate ways to change our lifestyles. Academics, in particular, have the moral responsibility to lead by action.

I am a professor of political science and direct the Center for Environmental Politics.
