Greta Thunberg to Publish 'The Climate Book'
Climate change activist Greta Thunberg has compiled a handbook for tackling the world's environmental crises.
The Climate Book has contributions from more than 100 experts, including Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus from the World Health Organization, and scientist Saleemul Huq from the International Centre for Climate Change and Development in Bangladesh.
The book also includes contributions from popular writers like Margaret Atwood from Canada and India's Amitav Ghosh. Other names included in The Climate Book are Canadian journalist Naomi Klein, Kenyan environmental activist Wanjira Mathai, and Brazilian Indigenous activist Sonia Guajajara.
The book aims to help readers understand the relationships between threats to the climate, environment, sustainability and Indigenous populations.
Thunberg said she hopes the book will be a useful tool for understanding these connected crises.
Thunberg became famous after she started missing classes at school to protest climate change in 2018. Other young people around the world soon started to join her in leaving classes to protest climate change. Thunberg was only 15 at the time.
Now aged 19, the Swedish teenager has already published a book about her own experiences and work as an activist called Our House Is On Fire and a collection of speeches.
The Climate Book will be published on October 27, 2022 in the UK through Allen Lane. It will then be published in the US through Penguin Press in early 2023, when it will also be published in a number of other countries.
