STOCKHOLM (dpa-AFX) – The Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg has announced a comprehensive book on climate change. “I invited more than 100 leading voices from around the world – scientists, activists and authors to create a book about the climate and environmental crisis from a holistic perspective,” the 19-year-old wrote on Twitter on Thursday.
Climate change is just one of several symptoms of a larger sustainability crisis, Thunberg said, according to a Guardian report. She hopes that the volume will become a kind of reference work for the various, closely related crises.
According to the newspaper report, the authors include the climate researchers Johan Rockström and Katharine Hayhoe as well as the economist Thomas Piketty and the writer Margaret Atwood. The book is due out in the UK in October. It was initially unclear when a publication in Germany was planned./cmy/DP/jha
