United We Are Unstoppable Reviews

Every activist has a story. Every story has a solution. Every solution can change a life. I am truly inspired by these stories of climate activists from various parts of the world. This is an amazing book. -- Vanessa Nakate, Ugandan climate activist
Engaging, fast-paced, inspirational . . . mandatory reading -- Siddharth Singh, author of THE GREAT SMOG OF INDIA
What a wonderful collection. The world is lucky to have Greta Thunberg - and just as lucky to have this collection of like-minded young people in every corner of the planet, hard at work to make things better. But don't take the message that we should simply leave the climate crisis on the shoulders of high school kids. Take the message that we should follow where they lead! -- Bill McKibben, founder of 350.org and New York Times bestselling author
An essential collection of essays written by a diverse group of young people from all over the world who are working to protect our one and only home.

This collection of inspiring stories from all over the world is the perfect antidote for those dismayed at the political wrangling and lack of courage to confront the existential challenge of our times. This book should be required reading for anyone concerned about climate change. -- Adnan Amin, senior fellow at Harvard University and former head of IRENA
It is impossible not to be moved by these young activists. Everyone will learn something new.
