About the Book
Low-lying islands are least responsible for global warming, but
they are suffering the brunt of it. This transportive atlas
reorients our vantage point to place islands at the center of
the story, highlighting Indigenous and Black voices and the work
of communities taking action for local and global climate
justice. At once serious and playful, well-researched and
lavishly designed,
Sea Change is a stunning exploration
of the climate and our world's coastlines. Full of immersive
storytelling, scientific expertise, and rallying cries from
island populations that shout with hope—"We are not drowning! We
are fighting!"—this atlas will galvanize readers in the fight
against climate change and the choices we all face.
