What’s your role in your story of change?

Every story of change is brought to life by people – individuals and groups who take on different roles to drive that change. In this step, you’ll reflect on the role you see yourself playing in your story of change. Are you:

• A catalyst for change in your local community? 
• An advocate raising awareness through art or writing? 
• An organiser building campaigns or organising rallies? 
• A frontline activist protesting fossil fuel infrastructure? 
• A practitioner, worker or entrepreneur advancing low-carbon solutions? 

Consider the following questions to help identify your role: 

• What part of your story excites you most, and how can you contribute to making it a reality? 
• What skills, passions or experiences do you have that align with this role? 
• How can your role connect with others’ efforts to create a larger movement? 

Remember, every role is important – whether it’s organising a local initiative, influencing policy or inspiring others to take action.

Share your role 

In the Comments section, add a short reflection describing the role you see yourself playing in your story. Feel free to explain why this role resonates with you, how it fits with your story, and how you envision contributing to the changes you’ve outlined. 

As you read others’ stories and reflections, think about how your roles might complement each other. Big transformations require collaboration and diverse contributions. Everyone has a role to play, and every contribution is an important part of the collective effort to build a better future.
