Climate Activist Greta Thunberg releasing ‘The Climate Book’

Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg, challenging world leaders to require immediate action for temperature change mitigation, is prepared to release a brand-new book in October 2022.

Greta Tintin Eleonora Ernman Thunberg popularly referred to as Greta Thunberg, is a Swedish environmental activist who is also internationally known for challenging world leaders to require immediate action against global climate change. Her activism started reception after she convinced her parents to adopt several lifestyle choices to cut back their own carbon footprint. In August 2018, at age 15, Thunberg started spending her school days outside the Swedish Parliament to incorporate stronger action on temperature change. Soon, other students engaged in similar protests. Together, they organized a college climate strike movement under the name ‘Fridays for Future’.

Greta Thunberg has received many honors and awards including an honorary Fellowship of the Royal Scottish Geographical Society, also holds in Time’s 100 most influential people, being the youngest Time Person of the Year, inclusion within the Forbes list of The World’s 100 Most Powerful Women (2019), and two consecutive nominations for the Nobel Peace Prize (2019 and 2020).

Penguin Random House announced on March 31 that ‘The Climate Book’ is going to be published in Britain in October 2022. It’s a handbook for aiming at the world’s interconnected environmental crises, with contributions from leading scientists and writers. It contains contributions from quite 100 academics, thinkers, and campaigners, including novelists Margaret Atwood and Amitav Ghosh, climate scientist Saleemul Huq and World Health Organization chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus.

Greta said in her statement ‘I have decided to use my platform to form a book supported the present best available science – a book that covers the climate, ecological and sustainability crises holistically.’

Furthermore, Chloe Currens, editor at Penguin Press, admits it absolutely is a unique book, alive with moral purpose, which aims to vary the climate conversation forever. She shares her experiences in a series of sharp, insightful, and impassioned chapters, which knit the book’s different parts together and respond to what she’s learned. At this point Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg says,

‘Because the climate crisis is, of course, only a signal of a far larger sustainability crisis. My hope is that this book may well be some quite go-to source for understanding these different, closely interconnected crises.’

Meanwhile, Greta began skipping classes once per week to protest global climate change in 2018, when she was 15, sparking a series of faculty walkouts that grew into a world cause. She has previously published three books, two co-authored by her parents and sister: ‘Scenes from the Heart’ and ‘Our home is on Fire’, and one collection of speeches, ‘No One is simply too Small to create a Difference’.
