With this third title in the New York Times #1 best-selling Empower
the Future series, you'll gain a deeper understanding of climate
change and climate justice.
Our planet is in crisis. The ice caps are melting, sea levels are
rising, wildfires are raging... and those most affected by global
warming are marginalized communities across the globe.
But all is not lost--there's still time for each and every one of us
to make a difference.
Through the lens of intersectionality, author Dany Sigwalt lays out the
framework for how we can come together to fight climate change, and how
we can work to put people over profit. The planet is not protected if
all its inhabitants are not; the people are not protected if the
planet they inhabit is not.

and a piece of paper.

Durand, this book is written for everyone who lives on planet Earth. By
