WE DON’T HAVE TIME FOR THIS named a Top 20 book to inspire climate action! 🤩📖💪🏾 Many thanks, @dabaden.bsky.social for drawing up the list. Her research suggests that a positive approach—one that shows what we can do—is often more effective in encouraging climate action.

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!
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. #loveisclimateaction
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. Read on @odi.global: odi.org/en/insights/...
COP30: what's the verdict?
COP30 in Belém is over. After a tense two weeks, our team unpacks whether the annual climate conference was a giant leap forward for climate action or a small step in the right direction.

What can leaders at #COP30 do to further gender equality & climate action? For @odi.global, I’ve written up five outcomes to watch for: odi.org/en/insights/... The UN climate negotiations face strong political headwinds, but progress which ignores inequality is an illusion.
Five ways COP30 could advance gender and climate justice
Amidst a global backlash against gender equality, how could COP30 advance gender and climate justice?

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. @City Park/Hanger Convention Centre #United4ClimateAction #LDCs
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.
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).
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? 🌍❤️
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! #writer #writing #climatefiction #loveisclimateaction
This month’s climate book is THE STORY OF MORE by Hope Jahren. We desperately need good climate stories. @realhopejahren.bsky.social’s explores how we got to climate change. And where we go from here? **Spoiler alert** Her answer - Use less and share more 🤩📖❤️
The recent G7 Summit and Bonn talks fell short of reaffirming commitments on gender equality and climate ambition. With the G20 Summit & COP30 coming up, leaders must deliver on pledges to support an inclusive & climate-resilient future. New blog: odi.org/en/insights/... @briannacraft.bsky.social
Happy birthday to WE DON'T HAVE TIME FOR THIS 🥳📖❤️ What a year! It’s been wonderful to share a climate story that acknowledges where we are and imagines a safer way forward. Thanks for being on this journey with me. #loveisclimateaction
THE SIXTH EXTINCTION by @elizkolbert.bsky.social is this month’s climate book 🤩📖 I love her take on “the truly extraordinary moment in which we live” - earth’s sixth mass extinction event. Her journey to understand the impacts being felt by the non-humans we share the world with is so well done ❤️
My latest @odi.global: As #G7 & #SB62 begin, we review their commitments on gender equality & climate action. G7: Strongest on gender inclusive, timebound pledges. UNFCCC: Most comprehensive on climate ambition. ❗ But without resources and political will, commitments won't be enough. Read more ⬇️
2025 is key to aligning global commitments on gender equality and climate action. New research sets the first baseline for how the G7, G20 & UNFCCC address the gender-climate nexus, to collectively track progress & pushback in the face of rising backlash & climate delay tactics: buff.ly/pyRJCe1 🔖
Loved spending Indie Bookstore Day at Frugal Books! Big thanks to everyone who came 🤩📖❤️ Showing up is so important, especially now when lots we care about is on the line. If you love stories that matter (like 👇🏾), buy them from your favorite bookstore! Indie Bookstore Day isn’t just for April 😉
MELTED AWAY is this month’s climate story. Thanks @barbaradrakevera.bsky.social for your memoir of climate change and caregiving in Peru ❤️📖 Each month of 2025, I’m gabbing about a climate book. We desperately need good climate stories. I’m happy to spread the word about ones that speak to me!
Can’t get over moments like this. Thank you Potter’s House! I walked into your wonderful bookstore and saw EVERYTHING THAT RISES proudly displayed. Which felt wonderful 🤩📖❤️ Thanks for celebrating my story and helping readers find it. #DC friends go grab a signed copy! #loveisclimateaction
For Earth Day, picking a story was easy. Thank you Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnac for THE FUTURE WE CHOOSE 🌎📖❤️ Each month of 2025, I’m picking a climate book and gabbing about it. We desperately need good climate stories. And I’m happy to spread the word about ones that speak to me!
I stopped by today and they had a signing with @briannacraft.bsky.social !
Happy second birthday to EVERYTHING THAT RISES! So happy to celebrate some of the memoir's stars 🤩 My story in the UN climate negotiations began in 2011. I'm still awed by the grit of negotiators representing the Least Developed Countries.
