“A Green Day”, published by Hachette India through the literary agency, The Book Bakers is a unique anthological volume comprising impassioned essays, noteworthy profiles, and first-person narratives champion grassroots and global environmental movements that have persuaded policymakers and mobilized communities to take note of the worsening state of the natural order. From the Global South to the Global North, change advocates and those experiencing the thick of the climate emergency revisit the tipping points in their activism journey, lay out harsh truths about the extent of damage caused, and offer scalable solutions to combat the mounting crisis. Outlining their rage, despair, fears, and hope for the future, the campaigners underscore that there may be reasons to be optimistic despite the dreary reality we find ourselves in. While calling for collective action, these wide-ranging, inspiring, and urgent stories reflect a diverse landscape of climate activism and are enough evidence that a sea change is possible.
Jeevesh Gupta, Chittranjan Dubey, and Anandajit Goswami have put in four years of hardship to come out with this very timely anthology. At a time, when the world is going through a poly-crisis and craving for different forms of democratic order by pushing and mainstreaming the agenda of ecology, culture, climate action, and human existence, survival within the larger political discourses, this book will only strengthen the ongoing struggle of mainstreaming such a voice in all regional, national and global change discourses.
The voice has been strengthened in the book through detailed essays by noted globally acclaimed environmentalists, and climate action agents such as MC Mehta, Jadav Payeng, Roger Hallam, Eric Solheim, Mayank Gandhi, Ash Pachauri, and Aseem Srivastava.
