The Climate Book

/0 Comments/in , /by

Greta Thunberg has created a brilliant new publication called ‘The Climate Book’ – see www.theclimatebook.org.  This is a comprehensive document, covering over 400 pages.  It is divided into five Parts, with a total of 100 short articles written by global experts in their various fields.  Each Part has an introduction by Ms Thunberg.

  • Part 1:  How Climate Works
  • Part 2:  How Our Planet is Changing
  • Part 3:  How It Affects Us
  • Part 4:  What We’ve Done About It
  • Part 5:  What We Must Do Now

The Climate Book is a wonderful resource for humanitarian/development practitioners, tertiary/secondary students, and others involved or interested in Climate Change.

The Climate/Warming Stripes included in both The Climate Book and this TorqAid post were developed by Professor Ed Hawkins and his team at the University of Reading, UK – see  https://www.reading.ac.uk/planet/climate-resources/climate-stripes

The Climate Book is now a key resource used in Topic 05 (Climate Change) of our 2023 Participatory Disaster Risk Management (PDRM) program – see www.torqaid.com/2023-pdrm-training
