The political will of leaders is critical to guiding any action to address the challenge of climate change. Political leaders play the role of establishing desired rules or legislation that can address issues leading to climate change and can play a critical role in garnering public support towards such efforts. Political leaders can also play a role in encouraging communities and individuals to quickly adopt practices that promote environmental protection and make them more accessible. Today we hear about many changes we could make to help our environment, but many of these actions are simply not accessible to everyone. For example, we know that solar energy is a very efficient and renewable source, but the solar panels needed to absorb that energy are hard to find and sometimes very expensive. Therefore, to stabilize greenhouse gas emissions and dramatically reduce the rate of climate change, political leaders must first recognize that this is a crucial issue and take the necessary steps to make climate change the most powerful policy tool.
