Be a means or an end

However, I have recently come to believe that this is not necessarily the case…..

It rained all day yesterday.

means
end
purpose
actions

I got ready to go out and waited for the rain to stop. I ate lunch sometime after noon.
It doesn’t stop raining.
I lay down and dozed off. How relaxed! It’s been a long time since I’ve spent a day like this.
It’s been decades since I’ve spent a day at home without going anywhere.
I don’t think it’s all because of the rain. My way of thinking may have changed a little.
Yes, I have been living for a long time in a rush. However, I have recently come to believe that this is not necessarily the case.

Is climate change a means or an end?
Addressing climate change is both a means and an end.
The purpose of climate change countermeasures is to minimize the effects of global warming and climate change. This calls for mitigating the risks of climate change, which can affect everything on Earth: people, biodiversity, society, and economic activity.
On the other hand, tackling climate change is also a means. Specifically, this includes taking concrete actions to mitigate climate change, such as reducing carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gas emissions, promoting renewable energy and improving energy efficiency.
In this way, it can be said that climate change countermeasures are both the objective of mitigating climate change risks and the means of implementing concrete actions.
