The defining book on the climate crisis that shows us how we can and will survive
'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
The Future We Choose is a passionate call to arms, written by former UN Secretary for Climate Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnac, her UN political strategist. They outline two scenarios for our future: how life on Earth will be by 2050 if we fail to meet the Paris Agreement climate targets, or how it will look and feel to live in a carbon-neutral, regenerative world. Each of us must confront the crisis head-on, with determination and optimism.
Practical and empowering, The Future We Choose features ten actions we can take today to make a difference. The Future We Choose is for everyone, from teenagers to adults, who feel powerless to stop the climate emergency.
This is the final hour: it can be our finest hour. We can solve our climate emergency, but we must act now.
'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
