Women are disproportionately impacted by climate change. In some cases, women make up almost 90 percent of casualties during dangerous climate events, and the majority of those displaced in the aftermath are women. Despite this disparity, women are underrepresented at every level of decision-making about the future of our planet. In Intertwined, writer and wildlife biologist Rebecca Kormos elevates the voices of women working to prevent the climate crisis, weaving together their stories to make a powerful case for why women are essential to changing our current trajectory.

The climate crisis is no longer a distant threat—it’s a present reality. Decarbonising Earth is a powerful and accessible exploration of the environmental, social, and economic consequences of climate change, the urgent need for action, and the technologies that can help us build a more sustainable and resilient future. This book goes beyond the headlines to deliver a deep, honest look at what’s happening to our planet—and why immediate action matters.
