ABSTRACT
Climate change is a turning point in human history, necessitating human-ecological transformation across an individual, local, and global scale. Metropolitan regions offer an opportunity for collective action that can transform individuals and communities by expanding and reintegrating our localities while making a significant impact on global climate change. The Breakthrough Compass is a conceptual tool for navigating the transition from a fragmented self toward wholeness and connection to place while also transforming our world. Within this chapter, the author offers multiple inspiring stories and case studies illustrating how metropolitan regional climate justice coalitions can galvanize this local and global transformation.
