Because It’s Time to Act—Even If It Means Being Hated

At the time this book is being published, the Climate Clock—the ticking countdown showing the years, months, days, hours, minutes, and seconds we have left before global temperatures rise by 1.5°C, with all the devastating consequences that entails—will read approximately 5 years and 95 days. Just five years to take real, meaningful action to move beyond the age of fossil fuels and environmental destruction.

This is the story of Simone Ficicchia from “Ultima Generazione ” (The Last Generation)—the generation that can still do something to escape the terror of environmental collapse and the illusion of infinite growth.

  • An authentic testimony that gives a face and a voice to the fight for climate justice.
  • A powerful account of activism and the courage to choose civil disobedience.

Author
Simone Ficicchia

A citizen actively involved in Ultima Generazione, born in 2002, he was raised among the hills of Oltrepò Pavese and currently lives in Voghera. He is a musician and a former History student at the University of Padua, making his first editorial publication. His parents see him as reckless, his friends as consistent, activists as courageous, and the police as having a record of about seventy reports. Interested in politics since his early high school years, he found nonviolent civil disobedience to be the only effective way to oppose government inaction in the face of the ecological and climate collapse we are experiencing firsthand.
