Recenzje

'Climate activism connects the dots among diverse renewal energy initiatives and actors to provide an analysis of how transformative change can be possible. It shows that climate activism goes beyond the usual suspects and places. It is taking place everywhere, in community halls, public offices, businesses, citizen associations and NGOs. It is a collective force without boundaries shaped by passion and collaboration between farmers, urban citizens, investors, engineers, entrepreneurs, CEOs, state officials and others. They are practical dreamers. Read this book and get inspired to take action!'
