Abstract
This article explores how metropolitan regional climate justice coalitions foster individual and collective transformation in response to climate change. Using the Breakthrough Compass as a conceptual tool, it illustrates how reconnecting with place can support ecological wholeness and systemic change. Stories and case studies show how local action in metropolitan regions can contribute meaningfully to global climate justice.
