Climate is just the start
2025
Book
"A guide to tackling the climate crisis from a prominent activist working on the front lines! Mikaela Loach's approach is one of hope and big-hearted optimism, inspiring kids and making them feel truly empowered to change the world. Kids hear about the climate crisis pretty much every day. From their parents, from their teachers, on social media, and in the news, there is no escaping it. Against a broader backdrop of social inequity and unfairness, it's easy for young people to feel a sense of "doom and gloom" about everything and to feel powerless. In Climate is just the start, UK-based climate activist Mikaela Loach offers her urgent and inspiring message for kids who want to stop the climate crisis and start building a better world for everyone. Mikaela explains the climate crisis and its broader social implications through personal stories about her activism journey. She writes about friends from around the world who are experiencing the worst of it today and about what they are doing to fight back. She delivers a message or not only hope, but of excitement for the opportunity to create not only a sustainable future for Earth, but better lives for people in the process. Mikaela is truly on the front lines of the climate movement: leading street protests, confronting fossil fuel executives, taking the UK government to court, and speaking up to those in power. Not only will kids love engage with her style, they will be inspired by her example"-- Provided by publisher.
