Climate Museum UK

We are inviting reviews of books and other content such as films, exhibitions or games which are about climate change or environmental issues.

We’d love to know what books or media have inspired you to think, feel, talk and take action in response to the climate and ecological emergency.

A review could be long or short. It could be about several things not just one.

You could video yourself talking about it, if you don’t want to write. You could have a chat with someone else about the book or film, and record it. If you know the author or artist, you could interview them. Or you could draw some illustrations, or make some art as a way of responding to a book or film. 

If you’d like to write a review, to publish here on this blog, get in touch on climatemuseumuk@gmail.com Or if you publish a relevant review on your own site or social media, please do tag us on @climatemuseumuk (on Instagram, Twitter or Facebook) so that we can share it.
