Book of the Week: Ep 3 - Climate Change and Us

Greta Thunberg together with journalists & activists take us to countries where global warming is already a reality. Greta Thunberg, Kyle Soller, Fiona Skinner & Weruche Opia read.

Selected essays from Greta Thunberg's collaborative book take us to countries where the effects of global warming are already a harsh reality. We hear Greta Thunberg read from her piece, and then we turn to the investigative reporter Abrahm Lustgarten, the Sami journalist Elin Anna Labba and Hindou Oumarou Ibrahim, an indigenous woman, geographer and UN Sustainable Development Goals advocate. The readers are Kyle Soller, Fiona Skinner and Weruche Opia.

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.

You can watch Amol Rajan interview Greta Thunberg on Tuesday, 18th October on Βι¶ΉΤΌΕΔ2.
