The future we choose : surviving the climate crisis

Figueres, Christiana (author.). Rivett-Carnac, Tom, (author.).

Summary: The authors, Figueres and Rivett-Carnac--the architects of the 2015 Paris Climate Change Agreement, outline two possible scenarios for the planet. In one, what life on Earth will be like by 2050 if we fail to meet the Paris targets for carbon dioxide emission reduction. In the other, what it will take to create and live in a carbon neutral, regenerative world. They argue for confronting the climate crisis head on, and present what governments, corporations, and every person can and must do to fend off disaster.
