Our December selection is: Climate Justice: Hope, Resilience, and the Fight for a Sustainable Future by Mary Robinson
Former President of Ireland Mary Robinson’s mission to bring together the fight against climate change and the struggle for human rights has brought her to a heartening revelation: that that an irrepressible driving force in the battle for climate justice could be found at the grassroots, mainly among women. Robinson met with ordinary people whose resilience and ingenuity had already unlocked extraordinary change. In Climate Justice, she shares their stories. Powerful and deeply humane, this uplifting book is a stirring manifesto on one of the most pressing humanitarian issues of our time, and a lucid, affirmative, and well-argued case for hope.
