The roots of the climate crisis stretch far beyond rising temperatures, entwining with racism, colonialism, and economic inequality.

As heatwaves scorch cities and food prices climb, collective action and reimagining power become essential. Real climate solutions require challenging the structures that profit from both people and the planet.
