Last year was a rough one for climate change. It was almost without a doubt the hottest year on record. There were countless devastating climate disasters, from epic floods in Spain to hurricanes in the southeastern US to raging wildfires in the Brazilian rainforest. And major international environmental negotiations were plagued by bitter fighting and some stalemates.

This year offers a clean slate. While one person alone cannot fix global warming, lots of people taking action can make a difference. There are also many things you can do to build resilience to the impacts of climate change. So why not consider kicking off the new year with a resolution to do more? Bloomberg Green has a whole list of options for ways to start living in a more climate-friendly way for people with all budgets and levels of commitment.
