The world’s largest conversation on climate change had finally arrived and emotions were running high as we prepared to delve into the topic “What makes you empowered to affect climate change?” The Bengaluru, India portal and Nakivale, Uganda portal were connected for this important event, and the anticipation in the room was palpable.
The conversation began with introductions, as participants got to know each other and shared their backgrounds and experiences with climate change. To everyone’s surprise, there were many common experiences shared among the group, with issues such as flooding, overpopulation, and food wastage being frequently discussed.
As the conversation progressed, the group delved into the topic at hand, exploring what it means to be empowered to affect climate change. One of the speakers made a powerful statement that resonated with everyone in the room. They said, “Every action counts.” This statement emphasized the idea that climate change is not just a matter of science, but that our daily behaviors and actions can also have a significant impact. It doesn’t take large, grand gestures to make a difference, but rather, small conscious choices such as educating our families and friends about climate change, properly disposing of waste, and managing food to reduce waste.
As the conversation continued, participants shared their own personal stories and experiences related to climate change. Some spoke about their efforts to reduce their carbon footprint, others about their advocacy work to raise awareness about the issue. The group was inspired by each other’s commitment and passion to make a positive impact on the planet.

The project not only helped to reduce waste, but it also brought the community together, creating a sense of unity and purpose.
Another participant spoke about their experience working with a non-profit organization that focused on planting trees and protecting forests. They talked about the importance of reforestation as a solution to climate change, and how their efforts had not only helped to mitigate the effects of climate change, but had also helped to create sustainable livelihoods for local communities.
