Your Guide to Climate Action (Paperback)

"Incisive, concise, and eminently useful—read it and get to work!" — Bill McKibben, Founder of Third Act and 350.org

A small book for making a BIG impact

Does what I do matter? What can I do that will actually make a difference?

This book is for people trying to answer those questions – for people who are worried, sad, angry, overwhelmed (or freaking out) about climate change and ecological breakdown – and want to do something about it that actually moves the needle.

Whether you’re newer to climate action and not sure what to do, or a seasoned veteran looking for ways to increase your positive impact, this book will meet you where you are – and help you leverage your skills and resources to make a meaningful difference.

Readers say Your Guide to Climate Action feels like a conversation with a friend who gets it – and helps you move from overwhelmed to energized, with the clarity you need to act.

Written by Ryan Hagen, whose newsletter helps over 200,000 people from 150+ countries to take climate action, this isn't just another list of green living tips – it's a blueprint for moving beyond your carbon footprint to help fix our broken systems – bridging the gap between your individual actions and the systemic changes we need.

We have most of the solutions we need to stop global heating. What we're missing is enough people stepping up to implement those solutions fast enough – and that's something we can all help with.

This guide will show you how to:

• Transform climate anxiety into action
• Figure out which actions make the most sense for you
• Use your influence to build people power and change the systems you’re a part of
• Take any of the top 10 most effective actions, including how to help make your community, company, or school truly sustainable
• Build the resilience and community you’ll need for the challenging years ahead

“The most clear, compelling, direct guide to taking meaningful, impactful action that I have ever read.” – Jack Hanson, Executive Director of Run on Climate

You are far more powerful than you think. This book will show you how to use that power to help build the better world you want to live in.

Ryan Hagen is on a mission to help build a safe, healthy, and just world. That mission led him to start a climate action newsletter, which grew to 200,000+ subscribers from 150+ countries, start the nonprofit Crowdsourcing Sustainability, speak at dozens of events, and empower thousands of people to help make the places they live and work more sustainable. His work has been recognized by the UN, TEDx, and LinkedIn as one of the Top Voices on the Green Economy. When he's not nerding out on climate action, he's usually with family and friends, taking a walk in the woods, learning, playing soccer, watching sunsets, or seeing how many first sips he can get out of a coffee oreo milkshake.
