On April 22, World Earth Day, Penguin Random House India revealed that it had purchased a new nonfiction book on the environment written by climate change activist Aakash Ranison.
The book, titled “I’m a Climate Optimist,” will be published on June 5, which is World Environment Day.

The author’s own attitude and the well-known online handle “Climate Optimist” served as inspiration for the title of the book.

The author of “I’m a Climate Optimist” discusses a variety of industries in his book, including food and beverage, textiles and clothing, transportation, tourism and hospitality, digital and technology, home and household products, beauty and cosmetics, and plastic and packaging, according to the publisher. He also shares his nine-year journey of experiments and experiences with living a sustainable life. Case studies, information, solutions, and resources tailored to the Indian context are also included in the book.

Over 100 Indian companies operating in the sustainable alternative sector are highlighted in the book. According to the publisher, it also includes 45 industry experts from various fields, including Piyush Pandey of Ogilvy, Dia Mirza of UNEP, Nithin Kamath of Zerodha, Rahul Mishra of fashion designer, Santosh Iyer of Mercedes-Benz, Ashish Singhal of CoinSwitch, Samarth Bedi of forest essentials, Shriti Malhotra of body shop, Shradha Sharma of your story, and Ritesh Malik.
