A Bigger Picture: My Fight to Bring a New African Voice to the Climate Crisis by Vanessa Nakate

4.25

As someone who studies climate & environmental justice, much of the information in this wasn’t new to me. However Nakate’s perspective and voice is incredibly important. 4 stars instead of 5 because the work invokes a lot of binary thinking about gender and Nakate simps over Greta thunberg in a way that is more obvious/cringe than I think she thinks it is. Definitely a good starting point for those who want to learn more about climate activism and climate justice from a majority world perspective (although the way she talks about justice can also be applied to the global north)!!!
