The Future We Choose

“This book is one of the most inspiring I have ever read. It takes a clear-eyed look at the terrifying realities of climate change, but concludes that humanity can still confront this threat. Furthermore, the book presents the existential challenge of climate change as a unique opportunity to build a fairer world and to make ourselves better. Most importantly, it offers a decidedly practical approach and suggests 10 concrete actions that each of us can do to create a possible future for everyone on planet Earth. I hope we all take this message to heart. » Yuval Harari, author of Sapiens, Homo Deus and 21 Lessons for the 21st Century. “The Paris Agreement will be a milestone for humanity. In this important and timely book, two of the main initiators of this agreement show us why and how we must implement its commitments. I hope it will be widely read and acted upon. Jane Goodall, author of My Life with Chimpanzees. After playing a key role in the Paris Agreement, Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnac co-founded Global Optimism, an organization dedicated to environmental change.
