Everything That Rises: A Climate Change Memoir

Authentic and inspiring, Everything That Rises personalizes the realities of climate change by paralleling our relationship to the planet with the way we interact within our own homes.

Many millennials begin their professional lives in the background, working for causes unimportant to them and earning barely livable wages. Brianna Craft's first internship, however, was assisting the Least Developed Countries Group during the United Nations' climate change negotiations. Conditions were similar. The cause was not.

Brianna was thrown directly into the middle of the talks. While working for those most ignored and affected by the climate crisis, she had to find her own voice in rooms filled with the world's most powerful people--a dynamic that painfully reminded her of what it felt like growing up in a house where the loudest voice always won.

Four years later, she witnessed the adoption of the first universal climate change treaty, the Paris Agreement. But despite the signing of the 2015 treaty, the crisis rages on. In Everything That Rises, Brianna confronts her own history to further the cause and navigate the future.

It will take all of us to save our home.
