The people behind Climate Justice for Rosa vzw

The Climate Justice for Rosa campaign was launched by Benjamin Van Bunderen Robberechts shortly after Rosa's death, when he was just 14 years old. He quickly garnered the support of Rosa's friends and family. After about two years of activism, it became clear that legally formalizing the organization was necessary to amplify its impact.

Over the years, many individuals with diverse expertise have contributed to the campaign in a variety of ways. We are thrilled to have such widespread support and will update our list of allies in the coming weeks and months. We invite more people to join our mission and help create meaningful change.
