“Resistance becomes easier when it is rooted within the community”. As the 20-year-old climate justice activist Ayshka Najib strives to fight the climate crisis, she is encouraged by the many youth-led climate advocacy initiatives and campaigns that have started to gain momentum. “Collective action is the key to solving our crisis, so I encourage everyone to take a step forward and join this global movement”. This is Hoor Alrais’ call to action for her generation. As a young climate justice advocate, she passionately urges youth to help make a change and to be an inspiration. We are at a defining moment for our planet, as there is no place on the globe that is immune to the impact of climate change. Climate change also has profound impacts on a wide variety of human rights, including the rights to life, self-determination, development, food, health, water and sanitation, and housing. Humanity, however, is not powerless in the face of this global threat.
