A rousing and radical investigation into the climate crisis, its
causes, and how to fight for the most vulnerable people affected by
it, This Book Will Save the Planet is a vibrantly illustrated study
of one of humanity's most significant threats. With this third
title in the NYT #1 best-selling Empower the Future series, you'll

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

the people are not protected if the planet they inhabit is not. In
this book, you will: Discover the core principles of climate
justice Learn how solidarity, community and mutual aid can change
the world Find out how to use your privilege to stand-up for other
people At the end of each chapter, there are activities and calls

illustrations by artist Aurelia Durand, this book is written for
everyone who lives on planet Earth. By the end, you'll have the
tools you need to go out and make a difference. The Empower the
Future series is a collection of vital and urgent books about how
