Felicity and Lynda are hosting a new reading group based on Greta Thunberg’s The Climate Book.
This will take place on Thursdays 5-6pm in room SLB/207, Spring Lane Building, University of York Campus West.
The group is starting on 16th November, reading and discussing a chapter each week (starting at 1.1), going weekly until 7th December. The plan is to pick up it again in the New Year.
All welcome, no need to register. See our events calendar for confirmed dates.

In The Climate Book, Greta Thunberg has gathered the wisdom of over one hundred experts – geophysicists, oceanographers and meteorologists; engineers, economists and mathematicians; historians, philosophers and indigenous leaders – to equip us all with the knowledge we need to combat climate disaster. Alongside them, she shares her own stories of demonstrating and uncovering greenwashing around the world, revealing how much we have been kept in the dark. This is one of our biggest challenges, she shows, but also our greatest source of hope. Once we are given the full picture, how can we not act? And if a schoolchild’s strike could ignite a global protest, what could we do collectively if we tried?
