Hi Jack,I am mainly a Technology tutor but specialise in areas of sustainability and have resources and support materials for you on this subject. I'll highlight some below for you. Contact me if it is more essay structuring you need support with, rather than content, and I'll support you with this side too...it is quite a huge and complex subject! Also would be useful to know the level/course this essay is for, to help you with the level of depth to research. Contact me if I can be of more help.******A quarter of the world population lacks access to electricity. Providing
reliable, clean energy to the least developed communities on our planet, while
accelerating the uptake of clean energy technologies in industrialised and emerging
economies are urgent policy tasks. Huge implementation challenges remain, but
business engagement in the low carbon transformation challenge is essential.
As the impacts of climate change have become more noticeable around the
world, this situation has begun to change dramatically. Whether it is the
impacts of human-induced climate change, or the consequences of natural
disasters, nations now recognize that failure to act on climate change will
have impacts that go well beyond the natural environment.
Arguments/points to research/opposing views;
Climate isn’t changing; the science in
incorrect/incompleteClimate is changing but people needn’t do
anything- Are human beings to blame? Will they just adapt as it happens?Climate change is a subject of scientific
investigation; will further research provide knowledge?Does the world need more of the tools of
modernity to address climate change?Climate change is another instance of rich and
powerful countries preserving their leadership positions?Climate change reflects human beings’ broken
relationship with the natural worldEconomists can agree that climate change is
worrisome and should be addressed but argue if 1-3% of GPD should be spent on
this urgent problem.Should only a modest amount be spent on
mitigation as there are uncertainties about climate change? Fears could be
groundless and benefits are uncertainCan much be done cheaply? Innovation will also have
knock-on benefits. Short window of opportunity to go down the right path What about the role of rapidly developing
countries (Eg China and India)? China is the largest emitter of greenhouse gases.
Kyoto Protocol? Developed countries have emitted more that 80%
of the carbon in the atmosphere todayHow does society decide that scientific knowledge
is valid? Scientific discoveries may become the basis for policy-but politicians
and manufacturers are not necessarily waiting for the next scientific
article/reports to tell them what to doCan the world of human societies agree on what to
do about a global issues in which many kinds of knowledge are contested?Devastating hurricanes, widespread drought, ice
sheets melting, whole islands submerging in rising seas, animal/plant species
moving/dying out, new diseases proliferatingWarmer temperatures opening up new agricultural
lands, people spending less on heating, everyone likes warmer weather?, people
can adapt to change in climate, change probable through natural, not human,
causes?If the public does not understand the science of
climate change will they be motivated to take action? Continued effort to
educate the public but do they remain fairly uninformed about this complex
topic?The knowledge is a hoax or a scheme to get more
research funding?Environmentalists who want to have energy
produced only from renewable sources paint those who would continue fossil fuel
use and expand nuclear power as villains, or at best addicts to damaging
substancesEnvironmentalists shown as ‘true believers’ who
have their heads buried in the sand and simply do not understand how the system
worksIs implementation of existing technologies
sufficient to achieve drastic emissions reductions? Or are entirely new
technologies needed in ‘battle’ against climate changeMany
hold the view that current economic circumstances make it highly unlikely that
governments will be willing to take on international obligations that are seen
as an expensive constraint on economic growth
Good luck!

The first step would be to do some reading on the topic, and to see if there is a side that you agree with. It helps to write an essay that you believe in. Going from there, there's a myriad of options on which arguments to use.

Do you think the climate change action/solutions start at the government level? How big are their role in solving this issue?
