"Greta Thunberg is already one of our planet’s greatest advocates." —Barack Obama
The groundbreaking speeches of Greta Thunberg, the young climate activist who has become the voice of a generation, including her historic address to the United Nations
In August 2018 a fifteen-year-old Swedish girl, Greta Thunberg, decided not to go to school one day in order to protest the climate crisis. Her actions sparked a global movement, inspiring millions of students to go on strike for our planet, forcing governments to listen, and earning her a Nobel Peace Prize nomination.
No One Is Too Small to Make A Difference brings you Greta in her own words, for the first time. Collecting her speeches that have made history across the globe, from the United Nations to Capitol Hill and mass street protests, her book is a rallying cry for why we must all wake up and fight to protect the living planet, no matter how powerless we feel. Our future depends upon it.
APPLE BOOKS REVIEW
Environmental activist Greta Thunberg is here on Earth to spur us into action. This collection of 11 viral speeches that launched the Swedish teenager onto the world stage is a testament to her excellence as both a thinker and a speaker, delivering a one-two punch of fiery passion and scientific facts. From her first address at the 2018 Climate March in Stockholm to her now-infamous talk at the European Economic Social Committee—the one where she accused world leaders of acting like spoiled, irresponsible children!—reading her speeches together makes them all the more powerful. One vital point comes through loud and clear: If the world doesn’t reduce CO2 emissions by at least 50% very soon, there’s no future for humanity. Yes, it’s jarring to hear this fact put so starkly. But if anyone in the climate-crisis discussion has the courage to speak this boldly—and potentially make real change—it’s Thunberg.
