Popis: We explore collaborative media as a tool for empowering people towards sustainability and seeking solutions against climate change. As a case study, we investigate the Youth4Climate collaborative media site, where people can post an idea for tackling climate change, and comment and vote on others' ideas. By analysing the body of 266 ideas and 1406 comments posted on the collaborative media platform, we identify eight functions on how collaborative media supports community powered ecological sustainability transformations. Our work contributes in understanding and structuring collaborative media in citizen activism.
