Climate Change Is Racist

Race, Privilege and the Struggle for Climate Justice

By: Jeremy Williams

Narrated by: James Saunders

When we talk about racism, we often mean personal prejudice or institutional biases. Climate change doesn’t work that way. It is structurally racist, disproportionately caused by majority white people in majority white countries, with the damage unleashed overwhelmingly on people of colour. The climate crisis reflects and reinforces racial injustices.

In this eye-opening audiobook, author and environmental activist Jeremy Williams takes us on a short, urgent journey across the globe - from Kenya to India, the USA to Australia - to understand how white privilege and climate change overlap. We’ll look at the environmental facts, hear the experiences of the people most affected on our planet and learn from the activists leading the change.

It’s time for each of us to find our place in the global struggle for justice.

"Will open the minds of even the most ardent denier of climate change and/or systemic racism. If there’s one book that will help you to be an effective activist for climate justice, it’s this one." (Dr Shola Mos-Shogbamimu)

"Accessible. Poignant. Challenging." (Nnimmo Bassey, environmentalist and author of To Cook a Continent: Destructive Extraction and the Climate Crisis in Africa)

"Climate Change Is Racist is a significant intervention in climate change studies and activism. Jeremy Williams crafts an accessible, intersectional analysis that is essential reading for those seeking to diversify climate change activism and confront historical, structural racism(s)." (Professor Robert Beckford, director of the Institute for Climate and Social Justice, University of Winchester)

This was an eye openning book that I plan to listen to many times again.

I did not anticipate how important the topics of this book are, and how important it is to accept the reality presented in this book, and what we can do to make changes, and truly help this world become a better place. Thank you to Jeremy Williams for writing this powerful and compelling book. It has made me recontextualize and reevaluate my entire life goals.
