Synopsis "How to Change Everything: The Young Human'S Guide to Protecting the Planet and Each Other "

"[A] uniquely inclusive perspective that will inspire conviction, passion, and action." --Kirkus Reviews (starred review) An empowering, engaging young readers guide to understanding and battling climate change from the expert and bestselling author of This Changes Everything and On Fire, Naomi Klein. Warmer temperatures. Fires in the Amazon. Superstorms. These are just some of the effects of climate change that we are already experiencing. The good news is that we can all do something about it. A movement is already underway to combat not only the environmental effects of climate change but also to fight for climate justice and make a fair and livable future possible for everyone. And young people are not just part of that movement, they are leading the way. They are showing us that this moment of danger is also a moment of great opportunity--an opportunity to change everything. Full of empowering stories of young leaders all over the world, this information-packed book from award-winning journalist and one of the foremost voices for climate justice, Naomi Klein, offers young readers a comprehensive look at the state of the climate today and how we got here, while also providing the tools they need to join this fight to protect and reshape the planet they will inherit.

Naomi Klein was born on May 8, 1970 in Montreal, Canada, into a family of political activists. Her childhood was marked by social commitment and creativity: her grandfather was an animator at Disney and a unionist, and her parents emigrated to Canada from the United States in protest against the Vietnam War. Klein studied philosophy and literature at the University of Toronto, although she temporarily left her studies to work as a journalist at The Globe and Mail

Klein is one of the most influential voices in contemporary critical thought, recognized for her analysis of corporate power, globalization, and the climate crisis. Her work combines investigative journalism, essay writing, and social critique, addressing issues such as brand capitalism, neoliberalism, media manipulation, and climate justice. She has been a university professor, columnist in international media, and co-director of the Centre for Climate Justice at the University of British Columbia.

Among her most famous works are: No Logo (1999), Fences and Windows (2002), The Take (2004), and The Shock Doctrine (2007).
