in conversation with Joanna Gavins

In his radical and hopeful book, leading environmentalist Tony Juniper shows that we can’t fight the climate and nature crises without addressing the ever-widening gaps between the rich and poor, the powerful and the weak. From soil loss to wildfires, degraded rivers, mass migration and conflict, the environmental crisis is already here – and it’s set to get much worse. Drawing upon more than 40 years of experience in research, practical work, campaigning and advocacy, in Just Earth Tony Juniper reveals the system shifts needed to achieve real, lasting change.
