«El relato extraordinario de cómo una familia logra erguirse, con gran lucidez moral, ante la tremenda responsabilidad de estar vivos en el momento en que nuestras decisiones colectivas inmediatas están determinando el futuro de la vida en la Tierra. Han compartido su valiente historia no en busca de admiración, sino de compañía. Greta Thunberg ya ha inspirado un hito global: este libro guarda la esencia de cómo ganaremos. -Naomi Klein #HuelgaPorElClima «Quiero que actúen como si nuestra casa estuviera ardiendo. Porque así es. Con estas palabras cerraba Greta Thunberg su discurso en el foro de Davos el 25 de enero de 2019, a los cinco meses de iniciar su huelga por el clima. Desde entonces, la activista ha abanderado la lucha sumando a millones de personas y obligando al mundo entero a encarar la crisis del planeta. Pero qué llevó a una adolescente de quince años a tomar la decisión de plantarse en solitario ante el Parlamento de su país y desde allí intentar cambiar el mundo? Esta es una historia, escrita por la familia Thunberg y narrada en la voz de la madre de Greta, que comienza cuando la hija mayor, de once años, cae en una depresión severa y deja de comer tras el impacto de un documental sobre el cambio climático. Sus padres emprenden una lucha feroz por su salud hasta que le diagnostican síndrome de Asperger, autismo de alto funcionamiento y trastorno obsesivo-compulsivo. Al poco tiempo, la hija menor, Beata, muestra signos de trastornos similares. Este es el grito de auxilio de una niña para convencer, primero a los suyos y luego al mundo entero, de que la sociedad está tan enferma como el planeta y de que es urgente que reaccione. Una narración sobrecogedora de una familia moderna que supera su propia crisis desafiando una crisis global. ENGLISH DESCRIPTION An extraordinary account of how one family rose, with unshakable moral clarity, to the tremendous responsibility of being alive at the moment when our immediate collective decisions will determine the fate of life on Earth. They share their story of courage not because they want our accolades, but because they demand our company. Greta Thunberg has already inspired a global moment--this book is part of how we will win. --Naomi Klein, author of This Changes Everything When climate activist Greta Thunberg was eleven, her parents Malena and Svante, and her little sister Beata, were facing a crisis in their own home. Greta had stopped eating and speaking, and her mother and father reconfigured their lives to care for her. Greta's desperate parents came to realize that--alongside her diagnosis of Asperger's--there was another more pressing source of her distress: her imperiled future on a rapidly heating planet. Steered by Greta's determination to understand the truth and generate change, they began to see the deep connections between their own suffering and the planet's. In Our House Is On Fire--co-written by a remarkable family and told through the lens of an iconoclastic mother--a family discovers that their struggles at home can be healed by taking global action. And Greta, understanding that there are no gray areas when it comes to the survival of the planet, decides to go on strike from school, igniting a worldwide rebellion..

The profoundly moving story of how love, courage and determination brought Greta Thunberg's family back from the brink'Urgent, lucid, courageous ... a must-read message of hope ... It is a glimpse of a saner world' David Mitchell, GuardianThis is the story of a happy family whose life suddenly fell apart, never to be the same again. Of two devoted parents plunged into a waking nightmare as their eleven-year-old daughter Greta stopped speaking and eating, and her younger sister struggled to cope. They desperately searched for answers, and began to see how their children's suffering reached far beyond medical diagnoses. This crisis was not theirs alone: they were burned-out people on a burned-out planet. And so they decided to act. Our House is on Fire shows how, amid forces that tried to silence them, one family found ways to strengthen, heal, and gain courage from the love they had for each other - and for the living world. It is a parable of hope and determination in an emergency that affects us all.

"A must-read ecological message of hope . . . Everyone with an interest in the future of this planet should read this book." --David Mitchell, The Guardian When climate activist Greta Thunberg was eleven, her parents Malena and Svante, and her little sister Beata, were facing a crisis in their own home. Greta had stopped eating and speaking, and her mother and father had reconfigured their lives to care for her. Desperate and searching for answers, her parents discovered what was at the heart of Greta's distress: her imperiled future on a rapidly heating planet. Steered by Greta's determination to understand the truth and generate change, they began to see the deep connections between their own suffering and the planet's. Written by a remarkable family and told through the voice of an iconoclastic mother, Our House Is on Fire is the story of how they fought their problems at home by taking global action.

I Vad håller ni på med? samlas flera kända kreatörer för att dela med sig av sina tankar om klimatet i form av noveller, poesi, intervjuer, krönikor, serier och mycket annat! Medverkar gör bland annat Greta Thunberg, Björn Wiman, Annika Norlin (Säkert!), Elisabeth Östnäs, Mats Söderlund, Mats Jonsson, Inger Edelfeldt och Herman Geijer. Skogar brinner. Städer översvämmas. Djur och växter utrotas. Vad håller ni på med? Kanske är det lika bra att bara ge upp direkt och invänta det oundvikliga slutet i lugn och ro? Eller finns det hopp om framtiden? Kanklimatpsykologer och zombieöverlevnadsexperter ge oss verktyg för att förbättratillvaron? Och kan litteraturen och konsten vara de krafter som ger oss mod attstå upp för det som är viktigt på riktigt? Med dystopiska berättelser, iskall vrede men också upplyftande fakta, spirande kärlek och skratt har några av vår tids största författare,musiker, serietecknare, poeter och aktivister tagit sig an klimatfrågan. En bok där fakta blandas med poesi, där serier skildrar personlig klimatångest, där psykologer förklarar varför så många står helt lamslagna inför förändringarna av vårt klimat; helt enkelt en bok som tar klimatet på allvar, och belyser frågan från alla håll." En klimatantologi som använder litteraturens kraft för att väcka tankar och fånga upp engagemang hos unga. Boken har som utgångspunkt att litteratur bidrar med en fördjupad förståelse som utgör skillnaden mellan att känna till klimatkrisen och att på djupet förstå dess betydelse."

«Jeg vil at dere skal få panikk.» I august 2018 bestemte Greta Thunberg seg for ikke å gå på skolen. Handlingen utløste en global bevegelse for tiltak mot klimakrisen. Talene hennes har skapt historie, og i Streik for klimaet er talene samlet. Boken er et rop for å få folk til å våkne og kjempe for planeten - og vår felles framtid.

Dette er historien om hvordan Greta Thunberg ble den hun er i dag – rollemodellen som startet den første skolestreiken for klimaet i august 2018. Gretas mor, operasangeren Malena Ernman, forteller åpent og gripende om en familie i krise, om diagnoser og sammenbrudd, men fremfor alt om klimakrisen som påvirker oss alle.«Denne boken har Svante og jeg skrevet sammen med døtrene våre, Greta og Beata, og den handler om krisen som rammet familien vår. Men fremfor alt er det en fortelling om krisen som påvirker oss alle. Den vi mennesker har skapt gjennom måten vi lever: ikke det minste bærekraftig, og adskilt fra naturen som vi alle tilhører. Noen kaller det overforbruk, andre klimakrise. Det virker som om de aller fleste tror at denne krisen pågår et sted langt unna, og at den ikke kommer til å angå oss på veldig lenge. Men det stemmer ikke. For den er her allerede, og den pågår rundt oss hele tiden, på mange forskjellige måter.»

"Några dagar innan Scener ur hjärtat gavs ut för första gången i augusti 2018 så satte sig Greta utanför Sveriges riksdag och påbörjade sin skolstrejk för klimatet en strejk som pågår än idag, både på Mynttorget i Gamla stan och runtom i världen. Sedan dess har många saker förändrats. Både för henne och för oss som familj. Denna nya pocketutgåva är en utökad berättelse med nya scener från sommaren 2018 och det som hände i inledningen av Gretas skolstrejk. Pengarna som vi eventuellt tjänar på denna bok kommer att gå till Greenpeace, WWF, Lära med Djur, Fältbiologerna, Kung över Livet, Naturskyddsföreningen, Barn i Behov och Djurens Rätt, via en stiftelse som vi har upprättat. Så är det. För det har Greta och Beata bestämt." Malena Ernman, maj 2019

SOY GRETA THUNBERG, TENGO QUINCE AÑOS Y HABLO EN NOMBRE DE LA JUSTICIA CLIMÁTICA. ESTE ES UN GRITO DE SOCORRO. El cambio climático pronto será irreversible. Los políticos no van a reaccionar. Tal vez tú sí. #HuelgaPorElClima Greta Thunberg es una adolescente sueca que se ha propuesto luchar contra el cambio climático y por la supervivencia del ser humano. En agosto de 2018 comenzó una huelga escolar los viernes que ahora siguen cientos de miles de estudiantes en todo el mundo. En diciembre de 2018 fue invitada por las Naciones Unidas a hablar en la cumbre sobre el cambio climático. Poco después atravesó Europa en tren para llegar a la fría ciudad suiza de Davos, donde se alojó en una carpa, para hablar ante los líderes del mundo en el Foro Económico Mundial: Quiero que entren en pánico -les dijo-. Quiero que actúen como si nuestra casa estuviera ardiendo. Porque así es . Hoy, Greta Thunberg es candidata al Premio Nobel de la Paz. Este volumen indispensable recoge todos sus discursos. Greta habla para ella, para su generación, pero también para sus hijos y, más allá de los seres humanos, para la Tierra entera, en su preciosa y frágil belleza. Escuchémosla. Tal vez todavía estemos a tiempo. .-J. M. G. Le Clézio, Premio Nobel de Literatura
