Summary:
"In this cautionary but optimistic book, Figueres and Rivett-Carnac--the architects of the 2015 Paris
Climate
Change Agreement--tackle arguably the most urgent and consequential challenge humankind has ever faced: the world's changing
climate
and the fate of humanity. In The
Future
We
Choose
, the authors outline two possible scenarios for the planet. In one, they describe what life on Earth will be like by 2050 if
we
fail to meet the Paris targets for carbon dioxide emission reduction. In the other, they describe what it will take to create and live in a carbon neutral, regenerative world. They argue for confronting the
climate
crisis
head on, with determination and optimism. How
we
all of us address the
climate
crisis
in the next thirty years will determine not only the world
we
will live in but also the world
we
will bequeath to our children and theirs. The
Future
We
Choose
presents our options and tells us, in no uncertain terms, what governments, corporations, and each of us can and must do to fend off disaster."--From publisher.
