As COP30 comes to an end, we’ve pulled together a selection of open access books and journals tackling the big questions on climate change, environmental justice and sustainable futures. From practical solutions for greener cities to global perspectives on policy and activism, these titles bring fresh thinking to urgent challenges.

Highlights include Universities and Climate Action, Haste: The slow politics of climate urgency, Obstacles to Environmental Progress: A U.S. perspective and our multidisciplinary open science journal UCL Open: Environment. Every title is free to read and share – because knowledge should power action.
