Diversifying Power: Why We Need Antiracist, Feminist Leadership on Climate Energy (2020) is a nonfiction book by Jennie C. Stephens.

Drawing on her experience as an educator, social justice advocate, energy expert and a sustainability science researcher, she emphasizes that tackling the climate crisis means expanding who holds power and reimagining leadership to include a wider range of voices and perspectives. The common theme throughout the book is “all politics is now climate politics, so all policies, from housing to health, now have to integrate climate resilience and renewable energy.”

 The book shares inspiring stories of diverse leaders who apply antiracial and feminine values to drive meaningful, structural change.  It offers hope that, with action, the shift toward a just, sustainable, and equitable future is on the horizon.
