Stubborn Optimism Book Club

Facing the reality of the climate crisis can be daunting, but no one has to be alone in taking action. We are in this together, and we are all learning along the way. Global Optimism's team knows first-hand the power of books in growing communities, deepening knowledge, and strengthening determination to fulfil our vision of a regenerative world.

It goes without saying that time is of the essence. As outlined in The Future We Choose: The Stubborn Optimist’s Guide to the Climate Crisis, co-written by Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnac, we have to decide now that collectively we can and must do this. We believe practical and empowering books play a role.

So, we decided to create a Stubborn Optimism Book Club that would go hand-in-hand with our climate podcast. This Outrage + Optimism library of podcast episodes maps a reading journey to fuel the outrage and the optimism needed to co-create a cleaner, fairer, brighter world. Once you've dived in, we'd love to hear your thoughts on which books you found most meaningful – please do reach out on Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, or Facebook. And keep an eye on our social channels for upcoming climate-bookish activities!
