Everything That Rises

Many Millennials begin their professional lives in the background, working for causes unchosen by them, for wages barely enough to scrape by. 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 is thrown directly into the middle of the talks. While working for those most ignored and affected by the climate crisis, she must find her own voice in rooms filled with the world’s most powerful people. A dynamic that painfully reminds her of what it felt like growing up in a house where the loudest voice always won.
Four years later, she witnesses the adoption of the first universal climate change treaty, The Paris Climate Agreement. But despite the signing of the 2015 treaty, the crisis rages on. Brianna confronts her own history to further the cause and navigate the future.
It will take all of us to save our home.
Brianna Craft is a senior researcher at the International Institute for Environment and Development (IIED). Craft works to further equity in the United Nations' climate change negotiations for the world's poorest countries, which have done the least to cause the climate crisis but are the most vulnerable to its impacts. Based in London, she researches climate diplomacy, taking specific interest in the Paris Agreement and provisions to develop and transfer technology. Craft holds a master's degree in environmental studies from Brown University in addition to a bachelor's degree in architectural studies and minors in urban design and planning, and environmental studies from the University of Washington.
