As Greta Thunberg writes, “This is the biggest story in the world, and it must be spoken as far and wide as our voices can carry, and much further still. The time has come for us to tell this story, and perhaps even change the ending.”
Saleem is sadly no longer with us. In life, he was a generous sharer of wisdom, connections and words. I’m so glad that they live on in The Climate Book. I desperately hope we heed them.
We need to think about global injustice now. The manifest injustice whereby polluters - largely rich people around the world - are hurting poor people. This disparity in consequences is a global phenomenon.”
I’ve been thinking about what Saleemul Huq writes: “What is truly important in times of crisis is social cohesion - people helping each other - and we have that in droves in Bangladesh. Whenever we are hit by extreme weather, we go out and we help each other. Nobody is left behind.
The Climate Book is a comprehensive collection of articles, which in the words of their authors explain how the climate works and how our planet is changing. What we’ve done about it. And what we must do now.
The Climate Book by Greta Thunberg is 2025’s final climate story 🤩📖❤️
Each month of 2025, I picked a climate book and gabbed about it. We desperately need good climate stories and it feels good to spread the word about ones that speak to me!
Send me a message and I’ll bring you a copy to Bonn 🤩📖❤️
Happy holidays!

Ten years ago, we adopted the #ParisAgreement. But how could that have been 10 years ago?! We’re so young 😅
UN climate friends, great seeing you at #COP30! Want a copy of my memoir set in the run up to Paris? Is it difficult to find Everything That Rises at home?
We Will Not Be Saved is this month’s climate story 📖❤️
Nemonte’s memoir of Waorani life is steeped in love for the Amazon & family.
Thanks for sharing your journey to rally your people to envision & attain the future they want - amidst invasion by colonial gods, oil & deceit.

Did #COP30 advanced gender equality?
Despite efforts to block work furthering gender equality & climate action, leaders adopted the nine-year Belém gender action plan.
Though the Belém GAP will stand, efforts to backtrack progress will likely continue.

What can leaders at #COP30 do to further gender equality & climate action?
For @odi.global, I’ve written up five outcomes to watch for:

The UN climate negotiations face strong political headwinds, but progress which ignores inequality is an illusion.
Today, we kick off a crucial 2-day strategy meeting ahead of COP30 in Brazil (Nov 10-21). Representatives from 44 countries unite to solidify positions & advocate for nearly 1 billion people in vulnerable settings.

A TERRIBLE THING TO WASTE is full of stories about communities uniting to preserve brainpower. And ends with What you can do, now.
As she writes, denizens - meaning a person that lives or is found in a particular place - the mind is a wonderful thing to save ❤️🧐
Read it. #loveisclimateaction
From injuries caused by lead poisoning to the devastating effects of atmospheric pollution, infectious disease & industrial waste, Americans of color are disproportionately harmed by environmental hazards. These deadly environments rob communities of color & America as a whole of intellectual power.
This month’s climate story is so terrifyingly topical ☠️😱
I’m a MASSIVE fan of Harriet A. Washington’s work. Thank you, so much for A TERRIBLE THING TO WASTE: ENVIRONMENTAL RACISM AND ITS ASSAULT ON THE AMERICAN MIND.
So good talking about radical imagination and the role it can play in redressing the injustices of the climate crisis. As well as what we all hope readers will take from our stories!
Thanks Selina & Joycelyn for sharing, and to the BBBF for bringing us together to talk climate justice 💪🏾📖❤️
They both dedicate chapters to Imagination. I love Selina’s “Part of the work of the writer is reimagining the futures we're heading towards, using words to help heal past wrongs and set us on a clearer path towards them. But creativity can't be rationed to only a few of us, it belongs to everyone."
Absolutely loved being part of the Black British Book Festival on Sunday!
I chaired the 'Rooted in Resistance: Black Voices on Climate, Nature & Radical Futures' event. Such a joy talking to Selina Nwulu (author of Black Climates) and Joycelyn Longdon (author of Natural Connection).
Visited with @hope_reese, author of THE WOMEN ARE NOT FINE - a perfectly dark, truecrime tale of Hungarian women in a poisonous sisterhood ☠️
Whatever your romance vibe, London friends get your fix at Saucy Books 🥰 Great shop. Great reading recommendations.
Can’t wait to go again!
So good meeting new friends at Saucy Books - London's first romance bookshop!
Which is on point for Autumn 🍂 I love their high school inspired section. As teen activists prove in WE DON’T HAVE TIME FOR THIS, what's more romanic than saving the earth? 🌍❤️
Drought also means tress will get drier and more stressed.
With an increasingly warm climate, the Ips engravers are going to be very, very busy.
Thank you Mary for sharing your story!
#loveisclimateaction
But trees stressed and weakened by drought can't keep up with the invasion and fight off the pests. By 2022, Mary’s Colorado cabin sat in land categorized in extreme drought, which means large fires can develop, reservoirs are extremely low, and water temperatures are increasing.
Like the other species of bark beetles that are killing 100,000s of acres of forest in Colorado, the Ips beetle has always been around. It's part of the forest ecosystem and healthy trees can fight off its worst effects, like humans dealing with common colds.
Why are the pine trees are dying?🌲😭
As Mary writes: The culprit is a tiny pine-bark beetle no bigger than a grain of rice: the Ips beetle. Its common name is deceptively charming: engraver beetle, for the elegant, curving galleries it munches in tree bark.
BLUEBIRD SEASONS by Mary Taylor Young is this month’s climate story 🤩📖❤️
Mary’s story illustrates the 20 years of climate change impacts she witnessed from her family’s cabin in the Colorado Rockies.
When I hiked the Colorado Trail, BLUEBIRD SEASONS answered one of my biggest questions.
So thrilled to be joining the Black British Book Festival, which is coming to the Barbican Centre in London on Sunday, 19th October!
You can get your tickets at www.barbican.org.uk 🎟
Would love to see you there!
#BlackBritishBookFestival
Leaning hard into September as I get back into writing. This morning’s peanut butter flavor: Mothernutter’s pumpkin spice 🎃🍁😋 Highly recommended!
Any #peanutbutter recommendations for the new season?
Hope your fall’s off to a good start!

Six factors form the happiness: social support, freedom to make life choices, generosity, absence of corruption in government, healthy life expectancy, and per capita income.
Most factors can be maintained, or even improved while reducing fossil fuel use.
