Climate Wayfinding cover

When maps come up short and the path ahead is uncertain, how do we find our way? Visionary climate leader Katharine K. Wilkinson offers a compassionate and empowering guide to navigating from ache to action, doubt to possibility. 

“There’s an enormous amount of learning from many years of climate work condensed into this invaluable book—wisdom about what to do, how to do it, and in what spirit. It will be so much help to so many!” —Bill McKibben, author of Here Comes the Sun

Through transformational programs and books, including the national bestseller All We Can Save, Wilkinson has inspired hundreds of thousands of climate journeys. In Climate Wayfinding, she shares a proven process for looking inward with care, outward with curiosity, and forward with courage. Ultimately, readers chart a course toward playing their unique part in our collective healing.

With her singular blend of warmth and rigor, Wilkinson lights the way through stirring personal essays, interwoven with the wisdom of other climate leaders and the beauty of poetry, art, and song. A book to sit with and savor, Climate Wayfinding also invites engagement with journaling prompts, practical exercises, and guides for conversation.

Whether steeped in climate or newly curious, readers will discover something grounding and generative in these pages. The terrain ahead is calling—and we have everything we need to find our way.

“There’s an enormous amount of learning from many years of climate work condensed into this invaluable book—wisdom about what to do, how to do it, and in what spirit. It will be so much help to so many!”  (Bill McKibben, author of Here Comes the Sun)
“Katharine K. Wilkinson has given us a compass for the climate era, one that points us back to courage, community, and the deep inner work this moment asks of us. Climate Wayfinding is both a balm and a call to action, reminding us that healing the planet begins with tending to ourselves and each other. With her signature clarity and compassion, Katharine illuminates pathways toward collective liberation and climate justice that feel not just possible, but deeply personal. This book will guide so many of us home.” 
(Leah Thomas, author of The Intersectional Environmentalist)
“Katharine, a gloriously poetic and heart-centered climate leader, has crafted a guide for those who seek to be ever more deeply of use. (Yes, that should be all of us.) Her kaleidoscopic vision and nurturing approach are the galvanizing balm we need to move from climate anxiety to climate action.”  (Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson, author of What If We Get It Right?)
“As the climate crisis unsettles both our planet and our inner lives, Climate Wayfinding offers a grounded path through fear, grief, and paralysis…in a time that demands the participation of all of us.”
(Christiana Figueres, founding partner of Global Optimism and former Executive Secretary of the UN Framework Convention on Climate Change)
“Katharine Wilkinson’s generous spirit, deep intellect, and illuminating wisdom spill forth from the pages of Climate Wayfinding. It is both a salve and a practical guide for all those who seek a way to reconcile their profound love of connecting with the natural world with the profound grief of living amid the climate crisis. Wilkinson invites readers to pull themselves off the sidelines and gather and grow in force, while imparting the inspiration and the know-how for getting there. The genius of Wilkinson’s climate solution is in her knowing that bringing forth sustained political, economic, and social change requires that we expand our collective and individual capacity—and endurance—to heal ourselves and the planet.”
