In the last decades, there has been a considerable extension of movements 
facing climate change in all Europe, together with the growing visibility of 
this topic in the public debate. Especially in Padova, a transversal net was 
born including committees, local groups and single citizens which have been 
fighting for the climate justice in Veneto. Recognising social representations 
role in building the group identity, to give it shared frames, to lead the action 
with meaning, the authors study the social representations of the climate change through the activists of the net considering their roles to rise together and 
change the status quo. Using textual analysis of the contents of the first public meeting of the net in Padova on the 8th of December 2018 and thematic 
analysis of 15 interviews to activists, authors bought out macro and micro 
social representations of the phenomenon, which are a mirror of the global 
and local meaning. The intersection of those dimensions, together with an 
environmental knowledge recognised by the local net, can be considered as an 
essential instrument of defence for the climate justice as a form of empowerment, oriented by shared social representations.
