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!

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.

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.

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 😉

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!

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.
