A cautionary but optimistic book about the world’s
changing climate and the fate of humanity, from Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnac—who
led negotiations for the United Nations during the historic Paris Agreement of
2015.The
authors outline two possible scenarios for our planet. In one, they describe
what life on Earth will be like by 2050 if we fail to meet the Paris
Agreement’s climate targets. In the other, they lay out what it will be like to
live in a regenerative world that has net-zero emissions. They argue for
confronting the climate crisis head-on, with determination and optimism. The
Future We Choose presents our options and tells us what governments,
corporations, and each of us can, and must, do to fend off disaster. This book
is available in both written and audio formats.
