The publication aimed at the next generation of innovators of climate solutions is the ultimate handbook for young people looking for practical solutions to help repair the planet.
“We’re delighted to be working with The Earthshot Prize to create an inspiring and practical environmental guide for children. The book celebrates our planet’s diverse and rich habitats, amazing animals and wonderful landscapes, and introduces them to Earthshot innovators, entrepreneurs and game changers from Kenyan environmentalist Wangari Maathai to Sir David Attenborough. Young readers will discover how they can become the changemakers of the future, developing solutions to the world’s biggest problems.”

“The task of repairing our planet isn’t an easy one, and it will most certainly take a generation’s worth of time to achieve. But we can motivate this special generation – one with so many young changemakers already out there doing important work and making real change. But we need more, and it is vital that we do everything we can to empower the next generation on their journey. We created this handbook to give young people the tools they need to make real, impactful change to our planet. We hope the book will encourage young dreamers to be stubborn optimists, with resilient, positive attitudes and the conviction that the changes they make will, ultimately, improve the world for everyone.”
Authors Jonnie Hughes and Colin Butfield
