A '''call to action''' is a statement that encourages or urges the reader to take action on a particular issue or [[CompFAQ/Topic|topic]]. It is typically used in persuasive writing to inspire the reader to do something, such as donate to a cause, sign a petition, or take action on a particular issue. Here are some examples of strong calls to action related to the topic of climate change:

* “Join the fight against climate change today by making small changes in your daily life, such as reducing your energy consumption and using sustainable transportation options.”
* “Don’t wait for policymakers to act on climate change. Use your voice to demand change, contact your representatives, and vote for candidates who prioritize the environment.”
* “Support organizations that are working to combat climate change, such as The Climate Group, The Sierra Club, and The Nature Conservancy.”
* “Spread awareness about climate change and its impact by sharing this information with your family and friends, and encouraging them to take action as well.”
* “Invest in green energy and sustainable technology to reduce your carbon footprint and support a cleaner, healthier planet for future generations.”

These examples illustrate how calls to action can motivate readers to take meaningful steps towards addressing climate change, from making personal changes to supporting organizations and advocating for policy changes. A strong call to action should be clear, concise, and actionable, providing specific steps that readers can take to make a difference.

In some cases, a call to action can be an effective way to conclude an essay and inspire the reader to take action or consider a particular point of view. However, in other cases, a call to action may not be appropriate or relevant to the topic being discussed. Additionally, if the call to action is not well-supported by the argument and evidence presented in the essay, it may come across as unsubstantiated or manipulative. As with any element of essay writing, it is important to carefully consider the intended [[CompFAQ/Audience|audience]], [[CompFAQ/Purpose|purpose]], and message of the essay before deciding whether or not to include a call to action.
