💡 Call to Action

Rituraj emphasises that true climate justice starts with grassroots ownership, where communities not only demand solutions but become the drivers of change.

He challenges coaches to ask:

“How do we localise the language of climate justice - terms like ‘just transition,’ ‘loss and damage,’ and ‘climate justice’ - so communities can own, understand, and act on these concepts?”

Reflect: How can you can contribute to climate justice in your community?
