Teenage climate activist Greta Thunberg is releasing The Climate Book in the fall, in which she explores a “global overview of how the planet’s many crises connect.”
In a video posted to Instagram, Thunberg said, “To me, hope is not something that is given to you. It is something you have to earn, to create. It cannot be gained passively, through standing by and waiting for someone else to do something. Hope is taking action. It is stepping outside your comfort zone.”
“And if a bunch of weird schoolkids were able to get millions of people to start changing their lives, just imagine what we could all do together if we really tried,” she added.
“I’ve invited over 100 leading voices from around the world — scientists and experts, activists and authors — to create a book that covers the climate and ecological crisis from a holistic perspective. The Climate Book will be released in October. More info at link in bio!” she captioned the post.

“I have decided to use my platform to create a book based on the current best available science, a book that covers the climate, ecological, and sustainability crises holistically,” she said in a statement. “My hope is that this book might be some kind of go-to source for understanding these different, closely interconnected crises.”
She further urged against “pretending that everything will be fine.”
According to Thunberg, the book will feature over 100 contributors, including scientists Johan Rockstrom and Katharine Hayhoe, economist Thomas Piketty, and novelist Margaret Atwood. The book will be Thunberg’s fourth and will be published by Penguin.

On Thursday, President Joe Biden encouraged the public to switch to expensive electric vehicles. “Under my plan, which is before the Congress now, we can take advantage of the next generation of electric vehicles, that a typical driver will save about $80 a month from not having to pay gas at the pump,” he said.
