Individual actions have little or no effect on climate change. For this reason, worthwhile change can only be made at governmental level. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
SAMPLE ANSWER:
Climate change is a real danger that threatens not only our lives but also the quality of life of future generations. While some people argue that government’s role is crucial in reducing this problem, I believe that we need a combination of strong government policies and changes in individual behavior.

(Topic sentence) There are various measures that governments could take to prevent, or at least mitigate, climate change. Governments could introduce laws to limit the carbon dioxide emissions that lead to global warming. Besides, they could impose “green taxes” on drivers, airline companies and other polluters. In addition to this, renewable energy production from solar, wind or water power should be invested and Government should force or encourage industries to use this obtainable energy. Apart from that, to raise people’s awareness of environmental issues, government officials should also launch environmental-protecting campaigns.
(Topic sentence) Individuals should also try to limit our contribution to climate change with practical actions. First, to take steps to slow down and eventually stop the damages of climate change, we should pay attention to the ways we can save electricity and minimize fossil fuel usage. For example, we can reduce emissions through simple actions like using energy-efficient appliances. Furthermore, we should walk more and drive less. Using green products that are recyclable or biodegradable such as cloth bags instead of plastic bags or leaves to wrap food is another possible solution that individuals can do to tackle climate change.
In conclusion, as individuals we can contribute by taking steps to reduce our personal carbon emissions. However, to fully stop climate change, we must need actions from the government to support and implement a set of climate solutions.
