Start the Conversation with a Book
Posted on July 29, 2019 by Claudia Tormey
Books are a great way to learn about the world and ourselves, and can often spark deeper discussions.
Talking about environmental issues such as climate change isn't always easy, so books can be a good way to start the conversation.
Our first ever book club series seems to be going quite well. We've hosted physical events in Dublin, Wicklow and Belfast and have engaged with many of you online through our webinars. Because we can't always meet in person, we're trying out new ways to connect.
On March 28th, we launched our book club at the Fumbally Stables in Dublin, joined by author and activist Lorna Gold to discuss her book ‘Climate Generation, Awakening to our Children’s Future’.

Tomac’s “1°C Rising” brings the front line of climate change to your coffee table

By Dr. Cara Augustenborg, Chairperson of Friends of the Earth Europe
Back in 2010, when environmental photographer and activist Luka Tomac began the journey of documenting stories from the front lines of climate change, the realities of the crisis were not yet mainstream. Though the harmful impacts of climate change had been known for decades, the understanding of just how fast these challenges will confront people still seemed far into the distant future. Over the past eight years, Tomac, a Croatian native, has visited more than 20 countries to document stories of resistance and solutions to climate change through photographs and interviews of impacted people and communities.
