*****
Discover why there's hope for the planet and how we can each make a difference in the climate crisis, starting today.
Humanity is not doomed, and we can and will survive. The future is ours to create: it will be shaped by who we choose to be in the coming years. The coming decade is a turning point - it is time to turn from indifference or despair and towards a stubborn, determined optimism.
The Future We Choose is a passionate call to arms from former UN Executive Secretary for Climate Change, Christiana Figueres, and Tom Rivett-Carnac, senior political strategist for the Paris Agreement.
Practical, optimistic and empowering, The Future We Choose shows us steps we can all take to renew our planet and create a better world beyond the climate crisis: today, tomorrow, this year and in the coming decade.
The time to act is now. This book will change the way you see the world, and your place in it.
Trade ReviewWe are at a
critical moment for the survival of humans and the rest of life on Earth. In The Future We Choose, Figueres and Rivett-Carnac explain what we can do to safeguard our world. This book presents what we
must do to protect our
shared future - your own, and that of
everyone on this planet * Leonardo DiCaprio *
A
call to arms for the battle of our time. * Arnold Schwarzenegger *
There could not be a more
important book. * Richard Branson *
Full of
heart, strength and solutions... I will carry it with me everywhere. * Ellie Goulding *
Compelling and persuasive. Everyone can make a difference when it comes to climate change, but far too often most of us end up feeling that the things we do are not going to be enough to solve the problem: it just seems so overwhelming. After you've read this book it will be very difficult to ever feel like that again! * Stella McCartney *
This book is
what the moment demands: a handbook for climate action and
optimism. Read it and act. * Ed Miliband *
This book could not be more timely or
important. * David Miliband, CEO, IRC & Former Foreign Secretary *
I urge everyone to
read it and heed its message. * Ban Ki-moon *
The Paris Agreement was a landmark for humanity. In this
timely and important book, two of the principle creators of that agreement show us why and how we can now realise its' promise. I hope it is widely read and acted on * Jane Goodall, PhD, DBE, Founder of the Jane Goodall Institute and UN Messenger of Peace *
I
strongly recommend this
enlightening book! The next few years are the most important in humanity's fight to solve the climate crisis. In
The Future We Choose, Christiana and Tom show us what's to come, how to face it, and what can be done to make the right choice to
save our planet for future generations. * Al Gore *
