We can survive the climate crisis. This book shows us how.
We have two choices for our future, which is still unwritten. It will be shaped by who we choose to be right now. So, how can we change the story of the world?
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. We are still able to stave off the worst and manage the long-term effects of climate change, but we have to act now. We know what we need to do, and we have everything we need to do it.
Practical, optimistic and empowering, The Future We Choose is a book for every generation, for all of us who feel powerless in the face of the climate crisis.
This is the final hour: it can be our finest.
But we must act now.
In this passionate, inspiring manifesto Christiana Figueres, UN Secretary for Climate Change during the Paris Agreement will outline her vision for a sustainable future. Writing with Tom Rivett-Carnac, her deputy at the UN and co-founder of the Global Optimism movement, Christiana will show us three possible scenarios for our future, dependent upon the actions we take now. Fiercely optimistic and practical, Christiana will show us that we can and will achieve the shift necessary to halt global warming and sustain human life. She also shows what each of us can do personally to bring about the change needed.
This is the final hour: it can be our finest hour. We can and will solve our climate crisis, but we must act now.
