Beginning to End the Climate Crisis - A History of Our Future

Activists urge people to treat the climate crisis like an emergency, as it is. They argue that climate scientists have been warning about the consequences of rising temperatures for years, but politicians have done nothing. Luisa Neubauer and Alexander Repenning's book tells the stories of young climate activists and provides an analysis of how climate change impacts their generation. They argue that young and old in the US and around the world can learn from their European counterparts.

Act as if your house is on fire. Because it is.

Following Greta Thunberg, millions of young climate activists have taken to the streets worldwide as part of the Fridays For Future movement. They demand that we "unite behind the science," as climate scientists have been ringing the alarm bells about rising temperatures, tipping points, and the devastating consequences of extreme weather—but politicians do nothing.

So how do you begin to end the climate crisis? Luisa Neubauer and Alexander Repenning begin by telling stories. Neubauer cofounded the youth climate activist group in Germany and has become its most prominent voice. In this book, she and Repenning weave in personal accounts of their evolution as climate activists with a thorough analysis of how climate change impacts their generation and what every one of us can and must do about it.

The young and old in the United States and around the world can learn valuable lessons from their European counterparts.
