Many books explain why global warming is a problem; this book shows what must be done. It addresses central themes of climate change in straightforward terms, laying out the actions that need to be taken to slow global warming and adapt to the near and long-term future that we have created for ourselves.



Many books explain why global warming is a problem; this book shows what must be done. It addresses central themes of climate change in straightforward terms, laying out the actions that need to be taken to slow global warming and adapt to the near and long-term future that we have created for ourselves.

Collecting knowledge, personal stories, and practical insights from experts across a dozen specialties, this volume shows how we can adapt to climate change in order to protect the most vulnerable among us. Grappling with a complex range of topics including risk, migration, and societal inequality, the authors take a constructive approach that balances realism with actionable solutions. They look back across human history for lessons that still matter today, particularly the importance of building a supportive and committed community to nourish hope. Without losing sight of the scale of the challenge, the volume chronicles the opportunities to mitigate environmental impacts and to leverage the challenge as impetus for broader transformations of society.

Written in an accessible, non-technical style, Climate Change: What Must Be Done? is a must-read for students, policymakers, and environmentally conscious individuals who want to know how to make a difference.

Arvustused

What an important volume! Some of the finest minds and most venerable campaigners of the climate world, together in one place making the case for the world we could still build. It will give every reader much to work with, as they try to make a difference for this besieged Earth!

Bill McKibben, author of Here Comes the Sun, Schumann Distinguished Scholar, Middlebury College, USA

What sets this book apart is its capacious yet cohesive vision of what must be done to meet the climate imperative. Structured as a linked series of compelling essays by leading scholars, it offers a rare and ultimately uplifting journey through the many dimensions of climate action. The narrative moves gracefully from personal reflection to larger human stories of societal risk, adaptation, and transformation, resolving in a clear-eyed vision of the shared global good that awaits as we rise to this generational challenge.

Peter de Menocal, marine geologist and paleoclimatologist, President and Director, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, USA

This refreshingly readable collection not only explains the physical basis of the climate crisis, but also tackles the profound societal challenges it brings. New approaches are essential if we are to thrive on this planet, and this book details what they might look like. What I love is that the narrative is woven in a way that leaves the reader with hope and determination.

Helen Amanda Fricker, glaciologist, Professor of Geophysics, Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, San Diego, USA
