The notion that “We can’t solve climate change with individual actions alone.” is correct.

The same is true for any sentence that says, “We can’t solve climate change with _________ alone.”
Addressing climate change requires *whole systems* to shift, not just one piece.

That means individual actions, alone, aren’t enough.

But that’s *also* true of national policies — alone, they aren’t enough.

Changing policy alone won’t address climate change either.
For entire systems to change, we need changes at *all the levels* of a system — including individuals, communities, businesses, and policy (especially at local scales, driven by coordinated national direction).
That’s why individual actions, business shifts, activism, and actions across local / state / national level *all* matter.

It’s a system. And systems change means the whole thing changes, not just one piece.
