United We Are Unstoppable
The climate crisis can feel overwhelming but, as this book shows, for every problem there are young voices raising awareness, creating solutions and demanding that things change.
See the world through the eyes of 60 young climate leaders from more than 40 countries as they fight for their homes and their futures.
These stories are devastating, defiant, inspiring and moving—above all, they are full of hope.

What a wonderful collection. The world is lucky to have Greta Thunberg – and just as lucky to have this collection of like-minded young people in every corner of the planet, hard at work to make things better. But don’t take the message that we should simply leave the climate crisis on the shoulders of high school kids. Take the message that we should follow where they lead! — Bill McKibben, founder of 350.org and New York Times bestselling author
This collection of inspiring stories from all over the world is the perfect antidote for those dismayed at the political wrangling and lack of courage to confront the existential challenge of our times. This book should be required reading for anyone concerned about climate change. — Adnan Amin, senior fellow at Harvard University and former head of IRENA

It is impossible not to be moved by these young activists. Everyone will learn something new. Akshat Rathi has done the world a great service in bringing these genuinely diverse voices from across the planet into one place.
