What can astronomers do?
Summary
Astronomers look beyond the thin veneer of the atmosphere protecting life on Earth to discover what lies beyond. Now we must shift part of our focus back to Earth itself. We are already seeing the impacts of climate change on astronomical observations, and our practices give us an outsized carbon footprint. Let us work together to make our discipline sustainable and harness our voices as scientists and educators to be global leaders in the race against climate change.
