'Small steps and small wins' in young people's everyday climate crisis activism

This Viewpoint is primarily a personal account of 16-year-old Daniel's experiences of his everyday climate crisis activisms. The article demonstrates Daniel's disquiet with how things stand, and how this translates into everyday climate crisis activism and relational dilemmas that need to be carefully navigated. Guided by his 'inner climate compass', Daniel finds small and controllable ways to influence family, friends and his broader community, and it's through small steps and small wins he exerts influence and develops the capacity to cope with relational dilemmas that may arise from diverging views and responses, and recognition of the boundaries of his agency.
