“We can create positive social change at the same time as fighting climate change, as long as we ensure we make space to hear those voices who aren’t usually heard. The best way to do this is to work with communities to create change, instead of forcing change onto them. People often know the solutions to the problems that surround them, they need resources and support to bring those solutions to life.”
