Summary

No matter your age, location or skin colour, you can be an effective activist.

Devastating flooding, deforestation, extinction and starvation. These are the issues that not only threaten in the future, they are a reality. After witnessing some of these issues first-hand, Vanessa Nakate saw how the world’s biggest polluters are asleep at the wheel, ignoring the Global South where the effects of climate injustice are most fiercely felt.

Inspired by a shared vision of hope, Vanessa’s commanding political voice demands attention for the biggest issue of our time and, in this rousing manifesto for change, shows how you can join her to protect our planet now and for the future.

Vanessa realised the importance of her place in the climate movement after she, the only Black activist in an image with four white Europeans, was cropped out of a press photograph at Davos in 2020. This example illustrates how those who will see the biggest impacts of the climate crisis are repeatedly omitted from the conversation. As she explains, ‘We are on the front line, but we are not on the front page.’

Without A Bigger Picture, you’re missing the full story on climate change.

Critic reviews

"Vanessa Nakate continues to teach a most critical lesson. She reminds us that while we may all be in the same storm, we are not all in the same boat." (Greta Thunberg)

An authentic young climate voice

Vanessa brings an an authentic young voice to climate activism. I loved hearing her words in her own voice. This book journeys from her start as a university grad looking for a project in-between under grad and post grad to full on activism. I almost cried in the introduction as she described her shame and embarrassment at being cropped and written out of an event with Greta Thunberg. A handbook for those interested in climate change and a must listen for the young people in your life.
