The impact of climate change on humanity and nature is increasingly evident. The atmosphere and oceans have warmed, leading to rising sea levels, a sharp drop in Arctic sea ice, floods, heatwaves, and fires. Calls to action are getting stronger. Concerns about climate change have become a full social movement, stimulating climate activism from the bottom up to the world, especially among young people. Campaigns are initiated by governments and international organizations, scientists and scientific institutions, organizations, groups, and people in civil society, public intellectuals and political, religious leaders, people of culture and entertainment. These campaigns generally aim to inform, raise awareness and shape public understanding about the science, problems, and policy of climate change, with the hope that, first of all, people will change their attitudes and behavior, and secondly, will mobilize to put pressure on policymakers for effective climate policies.
气候变化对人类和自然的影响日益明显。大气和海洋变暖，导致海平面上升、北极海冰急剧减少、洪水、热浪和火灾。行动的呼声越来越强烈。对气候变化的担忧已经成为一场全面的社会运动，从底层到全球，特别是在年轻人中，激发了气候行动主义。政府和国际组织、科学家和科学机构、组织、团体和民间社会的人、公众知识分子和政治、宗教领袖、文化和娱乐界人士发起了各种运动。这些运动的目的通常是告知公众、提高对气候变化的科学、问题和政策的认识，并塑造公众的理解，希望首先改变人们的态度和行为，其次动员起来向政策制定者施压，以制定有效的气候政策。
