Facing the Climate Emergency, Second Edition Summary

Facing the Climate Emergency, Second Edition: How to Transform Yourself with Climate Truth by Margaret Klein Salamon

Overwhelmed by climate anxiety? Transform your angst into action to become the hero humanity needs

A lifeline for those suffering from climate anxiety, Facing the Climate Emergency combines expertise in clinical psychology and disruptive climate activism to help readers transform their fear and grief into courage and heroism.

The second edition of this beloved, radical self-help book provides:

  • An updated analysis of the context of the climate movement including COVID-19, the hunger crisis, growing political unrest, and more
  • An unflinching analysis of the accelerating impacts of climate change and what they mean for each of us, personally
  • Concrete strategies for tackling climate anxiety, including welcoming painful feelings and using them to catalyze change
  • Inspiring profiles of ordinary people sounding the alarm by gluing themselves to priceless works of art, blocking transportation corridors, and shutting down fossil fuel infrastructure
  • Resources, exercises for self-reflection, and an invitation to the Climate Awakening, a global virtual climate emotions platform.

Featuring a foreword by visionary filmmaker and philanthropist Adam McKay, Facing the Climate Emergency takes a deep dive into why disruptive grassroots activism is the fastest, most cost-effective path to transformative change.

Whether you're drawn to the front lines of high stakes, non-violent direct action, or prefer to play a supporting role, this guide will help you combat the forces of climate denial and discover your own power in the face of the greatest planetary crisis.

Facing the Climate Emergency, Second Edition Reviews

This book is a guide through the difficult emotions of climate activism, and we are lucky to have it. It helped me understand how to cope with the enormity of the challenges we face, and I bet it can help you too.
-Vanessa Nakate, climate activist, founder, Rise Up Movement, UNICEF Goodwill Ambassador

If you are filled with anxiety and reeling from the onslaught of bad climate news, do yourself and your loved ones a favor and read this book. There is no way around the crisis we face, and no way around the dread we feel except to gather up our courage and fight like hell for the Earth's future. I'm transformed and you will be too.
-Abigail Disney, Emmy-winning documentary producer and director, philanthropist, activist

This is a life-changing book. Full of tough love, no nonsense moral clarity, and brave determination, Margaret Klein Salamon's words will get you to sit up, reassess your life, and realize the history-making moment you're in.
-Britt Wray, PhD, author, Generation Dread, Planetary Health Fellow, Stanford University School of Medicine

This is the most powerful, honest, and psychologically astute book on climate change I've ever read. If we humans have a collective death wish, we certainly express it in our pervasive climate denial. Here is the antidote.
-Richard Heinberg, Senior Fellow, Post Carbon Institute, author, Power

Our civilization is asleep at the wheel as we speed headlong towards an irrevocable precipice. Margaret Klein Salamon and her Climate Emergency Fund are on the front lines of transformative action. This book is an exhortation and a wake up call. Everyone should read it.
-Jeremy Strong, actor

There are many intervention points to address the climate emergency, but the most important one is within each of us-not by changing our light bulbs, but by owning our power. Facing the Climate Emergency is an invaluable roadmap for everyone who wants to move beyond despair and into effective action. Read it and let's get to work!
-Annie Leonard, co-executive director, Greenpeace US

Most of us, most of the time, live in denial. Margaret is uniquely skillful at pulling us into reality, allowing us to live in full awareness of the challenges we face... a sober, prophetic voice that can cut through the din of apathy.
-Paul Engler, director, Center for the Working Poor, co-founder, Momentum Training, co-author, This Is An Uprising

Facing the Climate Emergency offers relief for climate anxiety. With the skill of a psychologist and the passion of an activist, Salamon helps readers process fear and grief and find their place in the climate movement.
-Raffi Cavoukian, singer, author, Raffi Foundation for Child Honouring

The only self-help book you will ever need.
-Jessica Wildfire, author, influencer
