Book Club Thursday 25 August

In May we had an interesting discussion about ‘Doughnut Economics’ by Kate Raworth.  We have decided to meet quarterly, and so our next meeting will be at The Rose, Stapleford, at 8 pm on 25 August.

The book we have chosen this time is not so much theory, more one person’s account of how we can build a livable future for all in response to the climate crisis.  It is:

A Bigger Picture: My Fight to Bring a New African Voice to the Climate Crisis

and is written by Vanessa Nakate, a climate activist from Uganda.  Vanessa has noted that African countries bear a disproportionate share of the problems occasioned by the climate crisis, while at the same time black voices are not being heard as much as those of white activists.

‘A Bigger Picture is part rousing manifesto and part poignant memoir, and it presents a new vision for the climate movement based on resilience, sustainability, and genuine equity.’ (A Good Read)

The book has been recommended by Katie Williams, who will lead the discussion.  Do come and join us at the meeting – having read the book is preferable but not compulsory; you might just want to find out about the ideas and join in the discussion.
