THE GREENHOUSE

Book Recommendations: Climate Change

April 22, 2020

Want to read more about climate change but don’t know where to start? Let us help. On Earth Day 2020, we compiled this list of essential climate change books. Whatever your specific interest, we have something that can help you pass the time.

In the third episode of The Greenhouse, our digital event series about climate change, New York Times climate reporter, Kendra Pierre-Louis, and Gal Beckerman, an editor at The New York Times Book Review, discussed some of their top climate book picks. They were also joined by Amitav Ghosh, author of "The Great Derangement."

This year marked the 50th anniversary of Earth Day, which launched on April 22, 1970. But with millions of people around the world practicing social distancing, how will communities rally around this milestone anniversary? We created The Greenhouse, a five-part virtual event series to learn about climate change and the challenges facing our planet while at home. It was an opportunity to connect with the wider climate community, explore pressing issues with leading New York Times journalists and maintain momentum on climate action during this uniquely challenging time in human history.
