Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg has announced plans to publish a comprehensive book on climate change.

"I've invited over 100 leading voices from around the world - scientists, experts, activists and authors to create a book that covers the climate - and ecological crisis from a holistic perspective," the 19-year-old tweeted on Thursday.

Climate change was just one of several symptoms of a larger sustainability crisis, Thunberg said, according to a report in The Guardian.

She said she hoped the volume would become a kind of reference work on the different, closely related crises.

According to the report, the authors include climate researchers Johan Rockström and Katharine Hayhoe, as well as economist Thomas Piketty and writer Margaret Atwood.

The book is due to be published in Britain in October.
