520 _aDevastating flooding, deforestation, extinction and starvation. These are the issues that not only threaten our future, they are a reality. Inspired by a shared vision of hope, Vanessa Nakate's commanding political voice demands attention for the biggest issue of our time. In this rousing manifesto for change, she shows how you can help to protect our planet now and for the future. Vanessa realized the importance of her place in the climate movement after she, the only Black activist in an image with four white Europeans, was cropped out of a press photograph at Davos in 2020. This example illustrates how those who will see the biggest impacts of the climate crisis are repeatedly omitted from the conversation. As she explains, "We are on the front line, but we are not on the front page.' Join Vanessa and stand alongside the many other activists she speaks to in this book to take on the world's biggest polluters in the fight for climate justice and our planet. Without A Bigger Picture, you're missing the full story on climate change
