About this listen

An urgent call to arms by one of the most important voices in the international fight against climate change, sharing inspiring stories and offering vital lessons for the path forward

Former President of Ireland Mary Robinson's mission to bring together the fight against climate change and the global struggle for human rights has taken her all over the world. It also brought her to a heartening revelation: that that an irrepressible driving force in the battle for climate justice could be found at the grassroots level, mainly among women, many of them mothers and grandmothers like herself. Robinson met with ordinary people whose resilience and ingenuity had already unlocked extraordinary change: from a Mississippi matriarch whose campaign began in her East Biloxi hair salon and culminated in her speaking at the United Nations, to a farmer who transformed the fortunes of her ailing community in rural Uganda.

In Climate Justice, she shares their stories, and many more. Powerful and deeply humane, this uplifting book is a stirring manifesto on one of the most pressing humanitarian issues of our time, and a lucid, affirmative, and well-argued case for hope.

An absolute must-read!

This book is the wake-up call we need to join the climate action movement, while the foundation is one of HOPE. The incredible stories featured in this book are empowering to individuals and communities, and they show that we truly CAN (and do) make a difference!!

Climate change should be our most important topic

Can there be enough books about climate change? Mary Robinson is a strong voice who writes about the thing we should all be working on, climate change. Short but so important

The Elephant Threatens the Point

This is undoubtedly an important book. It's unfortunate that it leaves out one of - if not the most important - point in dealing with the warming climate: addressing human over-population. The author does not even bring it up, let alone look it squarely in the face & offer solutions. This fatal flaw does not invalidate the stories she tells or her argument for the need for prompt, just action but it significantly undermines her credibility as well as that of the solutions she proposes.
