«Wenn wir Klimagerechtigkeit wollen, müssen alle Stimmen gehört werden.» Vanessa NakateDie Klimaaktivistin Vanessa Nakate wächst in Uganda auf und erlebt, wie es Jahr für Jahr heißer wird, wie die Ernten immer kleiner ausfallen, Armut und Hunger größer werden. Als sie sich 2019 mit dem Klimawandel auseinandersetzt, wird ihr klar: Wenn sie nicht handelt, wer dann? Denn während Afrika den geringsten Anteil an der Klimakrise zu verantworten hat, sind es Menschen in Eritrea, in Äthiopien und Nigeria, die schon jetzt am Härtesten von den Konsequenzen der globalen Umweltverschmutzung betroffen sind. Ihre Geschichten müssen erzählt werden!In ihrem Buch macht Vanessa deutlich, dass im Kampf gegen den Klimawandel alle Stimmen gehört werden müssen. Entstanden ist die inspirierende und ermutigende Biografie einer jungen Frau, die sich entgegen aller Widerstände unermüdlich für ihre Heimat, für Chancengleichheit und Klimagerechtigkeit engagiert.
