#ClimateChangedMe
Will these stories change you?
Too many people think climate change is some abstract problem of the future. But it’s affecting the lives of millions, right now. So we’re building a collection of first-hand accounts from all over the world. A self-help book for us all. At the time we need it most. This November, world leaders meet to present new climate commitments. The stories we share can spark the big, urgent actions we need. The book and audiobook are available for free download in November 2021.
