Can flying be green? Everyone loves to travel, and the industry’s room for growth seems almost limitless—except that flying will soon be responsible for 19 percent of global emissions. Some people have even decided never to fly. Over the coming decades, aviation will witness more innovation...

An energizing case for hope about the climate comes from Rebecca Solnit, called “the voice of the resistance” by the New York Times, and climate activist Thelma Young Lutunatabua, along with a chorus of voices calling on us to rise to the moment. Not Too Late is the book for anyone who is despondent, defeatist, or unsure about climate change and seeking answers. As the contributors to this volume make clear, the future will be decided by whether we act in the present—and we must act to counter institutional inertia, fossil fuel interests, and political obduracy. T

Lab Girl meets Why Fish Don’t Exist in this “compelling blend of memoir, environmental writing, and scientific exploration” (Kirkus Reviews) from a young scientist studying penguins in Antarctica—a firsthand account of the beauty and brutality of this remote climate, the direct effects...

Mal angenommen es war nicht früher alles besser – sondern wird es erst in der Zukunft: Wie würde die ideale Welt 2040 in Bezug auf fossile Brennstoffe, Mobilität und Ernährung aussehen? Und wäre sie auch praktisch umsetzbar? Jan Hegenberg zeigt in seinem Buch faktenbasiert, aber trotzdem mit einer ordentlichen Prise Humor, wie wir die Energiewende angehen können und wie Städte ohne Autos aussehen und funktionieren würden. Dabei seziert er genussvoll und unterhaltsam die Fehlinformationen, denen wir zu dem Thema Klimawende aufgesessen sind, und zeigt, wie gut wir 2040 klimaneutral leben können.

"Wir meinen es ernst, dass wir wirklich um unser Überleben kämpfen auf diesem Planeten." Lina Eichler, Henning Jeschke – Mitstreiter*innen der Letzten Generation– und Unterstützer Jörg Alt beschreiben in ihrem gemeinsamen Buch, wie ihnen deutlich wurde, dass sie ihr Leben in die Waagschale werfen müssen, um für einen sofortigen, wirksamen Klima-Schutz zu kämpfen. Warum für sie ziviler Ungehorsam und Widerstand der einzige Weg ist, um auszudrücken: Es ist noch nicht zu spät, wenn wir jetzt die radikale Wende schaffen.

Świat coraz gwałtowniej się zmienia, ale wciąż zaprasza nas do odkrywanie jego piękna i podejmowania działań na rzecz jego ochrony. Tomasz Ulanowski–laureat Grand Presse 2022 za esej „Ziemia”–„zabiera nas w podróż przez odległe lądy, morskie głębiny, gabinety naukowców i meandry własnych przemyśleń. To wyprawa niezapomniana i pouczająca. Dzięki niej trochę mniej będziemy się bać nieuniknionego końca”.

Wie wir Klimarettung und Demokratie neu denken müssen. Klimaschutz und Demokratie, das passt für viele Menschen nicht zusammen. Den einen geht der Kampf gegen die Klimakrise zu langsam voran, während die anderen sich von einer angeblichen Ökodiktatur bedroht sehen. SPIEGEL-Journalist Jonas Schaible räumt in diesem Debatten(hör-)buch mit solchen falschen Widersprüchen auf. Er zeigt, dass Klima und Demokratie sich sogar gegenseitig bedingen: Demokratie gibt es nur auf einem bewohnbaren Planten – und das Klima wird sich nur mit demokratischen Mitteln retten lassen.

Griffith paints an inspiring yet practical picture of empowered local communities acting collectively when it comes to renewable energy, and benefiting financially. He considers both equity and security – an end to dependence on foreign oil, for instance. He explores the rejuvenation of regional Australia, as well as the rise of a new populist movement driven by Australian women. And he explodes once and for all the trees v. jobs binary. This is an electrifying essay about building a better world, one community at a time.

The scenario we are facing is scary: within a few decades, sea levels around the world may well rise by a meter or more as glaciers and ice caps melt due to climate change. Large parts of our coastal cities will be flooded, the basic outline of our world will be changed, and torrential rains will present their own challenges. But this is not the first time that people have had to cope with threatening waters, because sea levels have been rising for thousands of years, ever since the end of the last Ice Age.

In this global gardener’s guide to creating a resilient, climate-wise garden, learn how to adapt your garden to cope with volatile weather extremes and other effects of a rapidly changing climate. It’s no longer gardening as usual. Heat waves, droughts, flooding, violent storms…the...

We schrikken niet meer van foto's van zeeschildpadden die stikken in plastic verpakkingen, we beseffen allemaal dat we eigenlijk minder zouden moeten vliegen en we weten dat de vleesindustrie een desastreuze impact heeft op het milieu. We weten het allemaal, maar we doen bijna niets. Waarom niet? En hoe kunnen we dat doorbreken? Met zijn succesvolle boek Weg ermee heeft Dennis Storm duizenden geïnspireerd minimalistisch te leven.

Against notions of the lone environmental crusader, Marianne E. Krasny shows us the power of “network climate action"―the idea that our own ordinary acts can influence and inspire those close to us. Through this spread of climate-conscious practices, our individual actions become collective ones that can eventually effect widespread change. Weaving examples of everyday climate-forward initiatives in with insights on behavioral and structural change, Krasny demonstrates how we can scale up the impact of our efforts through leveraging our community connections.

Remmy grows up with Beth in Bellhammer, Illinois as oil and coal companies rob the land of everything that made it paradise. Under his Grandad, he learns how to properly prank his neighbors, friends, and foes. Beth tries to fix Remmy by taking him to church. Under his Daddy, Remmy starts the Bell Hammer Construction Company, which depends on contracts from Texarco Oil.

Da jorden blev dannet for 4,6 milliarder år siden, var den så varm, at intet levende kunne bo her. Det var bare en gold og stenet kugle. Men kometer af is blev ved med at bombardere planeten, så den til sidst blev afkølet og beboelig. Det skabte fundamentet for det liv, vi kender her på kloden. Så når vi tænder for vores vandhane eller tager en isterning ud af fryseren, så er det alt sammen, fordi en serie af kometer bestående primært af is bragte vand og materialer ned til jorden fra rummets fjerneste afkroge. Vi er ikke bare stjernestøv. Vi er smeltede iskrystaller.

Alle Maldive le spiagge spariscono, a Miami si ricostruiscono le strade sollevate di un metro, la Louisiana sprofonda a vista d’occhio, in Franciacorta il vino diventa ogni anno più difficile da produrre, e mentre a Venezia l’acqua salata consuma un patrimonio artistico inestimabile, altre città si svuotano di automobili e si riempiono di animali. Negli ultimi dieci anni la crisi climatica è passata da essere un problema delle generazioni future a un’urgenza di quelle presenti.

Natural disasters and the dire effects of climate change cause massive population displacements and lead to some of the most intractable political and humanitarian challenges seen today. Yet, as Maria Cristina Garcia observes in this critical history of U.S. policy on migration in the Global South, there is actually no such thing as a "climate refugee" under current U.S. law. Most initiatives intended to assist those who must migrate are flawed and ineffective from inception because they are derived from outmoded policies. In a world of climate change, U.S. refugee policy simply does not work.

Shortlisted for the 2024 Carnegie Medal for Excellence The “closely observed, compassionate, and far-sighted” (Elizabeth Kolbert, Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Under a White Sky) story of climate migration in the United States—the personal stories of those experiencing displacement...

We still have time to change the world. From Greta Thunberg, the world's leading climate activist, comes the essential handbook for making it happen. You might think it's an impossible task: secure a safe future for life on Earth, at a scale and speed never seen, against all the odds. There is...

Why would someone who cares so deeply about ecological change want to stop talking about it now? At Work in the Ruins is the book that grew out of Dougald’s attempt to answer that question. He delves deeply into what he discovered during the globally shared isolating Covid moment, why the virus and the measures taken against it drove so many of us to despair, and how we can re-find our bearings if the pandemic is not the big event that changes everything but simply one in a chain of emergencies that are bringing about the end of the world as we knew it.

It's hard to watch the news, scroll through social media, or listen to the radio without hearing or seeing something disturbing about the climate emergency. This can trigger all sorts of emotions: worry, anger, sadness, guilt, and even grief but also often over-looked positive emotions like motivation, connection, care, and abundance that support mental health and climate action for sustainable longevity. Written by psychologists with extensive experience, this audiobook shows you how to harness these emotions, validate them, and transform them into positive action.
