"An essential, inspired chorus of voices echoing the urgency of action in the fight against climate change." 
Kirkus Reviews

Climate Resilience is a crucial book that is much needed today as it starts shifting the focus to center frontline communities and leaders addressing climate change and fighting for climate justice.
Jessica Hernandez, author of Fresh Banana Leaves

This collection of essays is a profound gift to a world that is deeply in need of healing and restoration. These wise voices tell us important truths about the past, describing with unflinching honesty how the intertwined forces of settler colonialism, white supremacy, and capitalism have gotten us where we are today. Yet they also point to possibilities of a future that could be different a future where we remember that our own well-being is intimately connected to the well-being of all other living creatures, and act from this remembrance. Readers will be inspired by the stories of the people already planting the seeds of this future in brave, creative, generative ways. Climate Resilience is also profoundly practical, with clear, actionable ideas and reflection prompts following the essays. This is a book that will help you find your place in a movement towards a world of just interdependence, deep connection, radical generosity, and climate resilience for all.
