"The antidote for your climate change paralysis." -Sierra
"Insightful and optimistic." -The Guardian
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.

Robinson'shumility and compassionresonates through her story-telling .Climate Justiceinspiresthrough its portrayals of resilience ... Robinson's stories provide a window into our own future, and her legacy on climate justice isa point of lightin Ireland's otherwise dark record on climate change
If there is one thing Mary Robinson's book demonstrates, it isthe power of personal experience to change the world. Presenting narratives in this waymakes clear the issue at the heart of climate justice: it is consistently the least well-off who bear the brunt of global warming, and are the least well-equipped to deal with its consequences
As an advocate for the hungry and the hunted, the forgotten and the ignored,Mary Robinson has not only shone a light on human suffering, but illuminated a better future for our world
Addressing climate phenomena is the way to ensure justice for humanity. Mary Robinson, as UN Special Envoy on climate change & as UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, has beena global champion to bring justice for all.Her bookinspires & guidesus on what to do to protect humanity and our only world
The most dramatic symptoms of our changing global climate - rising sea levels, extreme weather events, increasing desertification, and water scarcity - disproportionately affect vulnerable communities that are often far removed from the causes of human greenhouse gas emissions. Mary Robinson has been their champion for many years, andClimate Justicegives them a voice that we all should hear.Robinson makes a powerful and compelling casethat the climate crisis is a crisis of humanity, requiring far more than mitigation and adaptation, but a renewed sense of shared destiny. Simply put, climate action must work for the good of all, or it won't work for anyone
This is a book about people: farmers and activists in Africa, Asia, and the Americas, people whose livelihood is ruined by climate change and climate injustice. Yet it is also a celebration of their fight back.I was moved by Mary Robinson's account of amazing women leading the fight for their communities
Sustainable development is at the heart of climate justice - protecting the planet, now and for generations to come.The stories in this book reveal the lived experience of people doing just that, adapting and strengthening their resilience in the face of climate change.They are courageous men and women whose lessons we all should heed
Mary Robinson brings the power of the voice of those heavily affected by climate change- particularly women - to the centre of the consciousness of decision-makersto propel collective action
