Part of the best selling Empower the Future series following the highly acclaimed This Book Is Anti-Racist and published in the summer when climate change finally became a reality here in the UK, this is a book which every school should have.
With the same format of short, accessible chapters, clear explanations of unfamiliar vocabulary and vivid impactful illustrations, this is an immediately engaging read, but one which pulls no punches in its examination of how our society arrived at this point, what the effects of climate change are and what we all can do about it. The author takes the climate debate to another level by clearly explaining the concept of climate justice and discusses how not all society has the same protections and resources and that there are intersecting systems of oppression and an undeniable overlap between climate change and racism. But she also shows ways in which community, relationships and mutual-aid can change our world, and how we can use our privilege to stand up for others.
Each chapter ends with activities and exercises which will be invaluable discussion points and a great resource for critical thinking as well as empowering young changemakers.
A rousing and radical investigation into the climate crisis, its causes, and how to fight for the most vulnerable people affected by it, This Book Will Save the Planet is a vibrantly illustrated study of one of humanity's most significant threats. With this third title in the New York Times #1 best-selling Empower the Future series, you'll gain a deeper understanding of climate change and climate justice.Our planet is in crisis.

Through the lens of intersectionality, author Dany Sigwalt lays out the framework for how we can come together to fight climate change, and how we can work to put people over profit.
