Climate Change

Climate Change is a children's book that explains environmental challenges to young readers aged 7-11. Written by King Charles III, Tony Juniper, and Emily Shuckburgh, the book presents scientific concepts in clear, accessible language. The book combines expertise from three distinct perspectives - royal advocacy from King Charles III, environmental policy from Natural England Chair Tony Juniper, and climate science from Dr. Emily Shuckburgh. Released in 2023 by Ladybird Books, it updates content from their 2017 adult version of the same title. This educational work aims to equip the next generation with knowledge about climate change and environmental protection. The collaboration between monarchy, policy, and science creates a comprehensive approach to explaining complex environmental topics to children.
