Who is behind it? Danielle Venton, science reporter, and Francesca Fenzi, Forum digital community producer.
What is it? We’ll read a climate book every few months throughout 2024. You can join an online discussion group via Forum’s community on Discord. (If you are new to the social media platform, read step-by-step instructions at kqed.org/forum.) Then join us for a live discussion, sometimes with the book author or with journalists and climate experts.
Where and when is it? We’ll post discussion topics on Discord for our first book starting March 18, with new topics every week. On May 8, we’ll have our first live conversation about the book with KQED climate reporter Laura Klivans. (More details about that will be posted at KQED.org/live in the coming weeks.)
Which book? We’re starting with Not the End of the World: How We Can Be the First Generation To Build a Sustainable Planet by Hannah Ritchie. This book is “for anyone who finds it difficult to believe in a better future,” the Times of London review said. Ritchie is a data scientist and researcher at Oxford University. Her goal is to convince her readers that there’s a lot the average person can do to make sure the planet our children inherit is healthier than the one we were born into. Grab your copy now.
Who is it for? People who want a better climate future and need a little hope.
