Our selected essays explore what the world has done about  global warming so far.

Greta Thunberg, scientist Kevin Anderson and writer Amitav Ghosh reflect on actions taken so far to limit climate change. Read by Greta Thunberg, David Hounslow and Vincent Ebrahim

Greta Thunberg reads from her essay, and then we turn to Kevin Anderson, the Professor of Energy and Climate Change at the Universities of Manchester, Uppsala and Bergen, and Amitav Ghosh, the award winning author of sixteen books of fiction and non-fiction, look at the actions taken so far to limit change.  Read by David Hounslow and Vincent Ebrahim.

Greta Thunberg’s school strikes and speeches shook the world and inspired leaders and people around the world address the urgency of climate change.

Now, with The Climate Book she has created a deep understanding of how the problems we face are all interconnected and what’s at stake, by partnering with more than a hundred scientists, engineers, philosophers, journalists, activists and writers. Alongside them Greta shares her own views on what she’s learned and what’s next.

The Climate Book is a portrait of a planet on the brink of a climate catastrophe. It shows us what needs to be done so that our world can remain habitable for all of humanity for generations to come.
