Global Youth Protest, Climate and Education

Rezensionen / Stimmen

"In a world where I can be anything, I purposefully chose to be a climate activist, not because I want to. We are born into a climate crisis that is the result of multiple forms of systemic injustices and oppression. Activism feels normal because we are a part of a system that is woefully unjust. Global Youth Protest, Climate and Education shows the real-life stories, struggles, and joy of young climate warriors and underscores the urgent need for concerted action. A must-read for anyone who wants to be an ally and understand the heart and soul of the global youth climate movement. Thank you for writing this."
