=== FAQ 5.1 | What can every person do to limit warming to 1.5°C? ===

<div id="h2-38-siblings" class="h2-siblings"></div>

People can be educated through knowledge transfer so they can act in different roles, and in each role everyone can contribute to limit global warming to 1.5°C. Citizens with enough knowledge can organise and put political pressure on the system. Role models can set examples to others. Professionals (e.g., engineers, urban planners, teachers, researchers) can change professional standards in consistency with decarbonisation; for example urban planners and architects can design physical infrastructures to facilitate low-carbon mobility and energy use by making walking and cycling safe for children. Rich investors can make strategic plans to divest from fossils and invest in carbon-neutral technologies. Consumers, especially those in the top 10% of the world population in terms of income, can limit consumption, especially in mobility, and explore the good life consistent with sustainable consumption.

Policymakers support individual actions in certain contexts, not only by economic incentives, such as carbon pricing, but also by interventions that understand complex decision-making processes, habits, and routines. Examples of such interventions include, but are not limited to, choice architectures and nudges that set green options as default, shift away from cheap petrol or gasoline, increasing taxes on carbon-intensive products, or substantially tightening regulations and standards to support shifts in social norms, and thus can be effective beyond the direct economic incentive.
