What does pursuing, and being a part of, a transformative global climate justice movement, as discussed above, look like? The reading by Tamatha Paul (2020) provides a window into this. Paul, an activist, first Māori president of Victoria University’s Students’ Union, and now a twice-elected city councillor in Wellington, writes about taking climate action by applying a climate lens to everyday decision making. What drives her to do this is her desire for future generations to be able to enjoy a world where climate change may have been halted.She encourages us to be a good tupuna, or ancestor, and envisions people four or five generations down the line being able to enjoy a pāua pie, visiting their home in the Pacific, and swimming in clean and safe lakes. As she says evocatively, “Climate action now is the essence of being a good tupuna” (p. 150). In other words, acting now is not merely in the best interests of our current generation, it is also a vital part of living up to our responsibilities as the ancestors of the generations yet to come.
