In Climate Hope, journalist David Geselbracht blends in-depth research, expert interviews, and on-the-ground reporting in multiple countries, revealing remarkable efforts to identify the causes and impacts of climate change—and devise crucial ways to address them. The scale of the challenge is clear in the range of fields he covers, from glaciology and climate science to law and diplomacy. But in drawing these approaches together, he shares stories of hope, awe, and wonder that encourage us to confront this long-term, world-warping phenomenon with a renewed sense of purpose and possibility.

Notre monde est en pleine mutation, le climat change. Des espèces qui ont longtemps existé sur notre planète disparaissent et les ressources se raréfient. Les gens commencent à se rendre compte que le développement n'est pas toujours une bonne chose. Nous exploitons notre Terre, alors que nous devrions en prendre soin, car nous n'en avons qu'une. Lentement, cependant, un changement de mentalité s'opère, les gens essaient de revenir sur les erreurs du passé. On essaie de réduire les émissions de CO₂, de préserver les ressources de la Terre et de prendre davantage soin de la nature.

Life began with the hydrogenation of CO2, and this is the process we must return to in order to heal the planet. Ground-breaking ongoing research into bacterial processes means our knowledge of bacterial processes is ever-expanding, and we can harness this new knowledge to develop a parallel carbon economy using engineered bacteria for fuel, food, and materials. This would enable rewilding on a vast scale, with the small land footprint of bacterial technologies solving the current conflict in land use between farming and fuel and materials production.

Die Klimakrise ist da–und mit ihr vielfältige Auswirkungen auf unsere Gesundheit: Kreislaufprobleme, Dehydrierung, zu hohe UV-Belastung, Hitzewellen, die inzwischen auch in unseren Breiten Tote fordern, Infektionskrankheiten, allergische Reaktionen. Und immer mehr Menschen fühlen sich auch psychisch stark belastet. Was jeder Einzelne von uns dagegen tun kann, wie er körperliche und seelische Widerstandskraft, kurz Klimaresilienz, aufbaut, zeigt die renommierte Wissenschaftsjournalistin und Bestsellerautorin Christina Berndt.

Il nostro mondo sta cambiando, il clima sta cambiando. Le specie che sono esistite a lungo sul nostro pianeta stanno scomparendo e le risorse stanno diventando scarse. Le persone si stanno lentamente rendendo conto che lo sviluppo non è sempre positivo. Stiamo sfruttando la nostra Terra, ma dovremmo prendercene cura, perché abbiamo solo questa. Lentamente, però, si sta verificando un ripensamento e le persone stanno cercando di rimediare agli errori del passato. Si sta cercando di ridurre le emissioni di CO₂, di conservare le risorse della Terra e di prestare maggiore attenzione alla natura.

Você já se perguntou em que mundo quer viver? Ou que mundo quer deixar para as próximas gerações? Uma resposta recorrente para esse questionamento pode ser um futuro em que o desenvolvimento humano esteja em harmonia com o meio ambiente. Para isso, há muito trabalho a fazer, mas tudo começa com as escolhas que fazemos hoje. É possível perceber os impactos das mudanças climáticas, isso é resultado de escolhas ao longo dos anos de empresas, governos e da sociedade como um todo. Pensar em formas de inovar de maneira sustentável é essencial para garantir um futuro que seja saudável para todos.

El cambio climático es una de las amenazas de nuestro tiempo, pero ¿es algo nuevo en la historia de nuestro planeta? El cambio climático es el tema de nuestro tiempo y preocupa a científicos, políticos y ciudadanos por igual. Pero a lo largo de la historia del planeta se han sucedido los cambios climáticos como parte natural de la evolución de la naturaleza y de las especies.

The world is currently closer to superpower conflict than at any time since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. World War III is a real possibility, and with 12,000 warheads in the arsenals of more than half a dozen countries, we are standing on a nuclear knife edge. Despite receiving very little attention, nuclear war is a far greater threat to humanity's immediate survival than climate change. While climate heating threatens humanity over many decades, nuclear war could destroy civilisation in just a few hours.

Burn Fuel Better will shed light on some of the unintentional mistakes we are making to address climate change and suggest practical solutions we can make to minimize and possibly reverse the impact — solutions that can be fully implemented today, not 20-30 years in the future, when it will be too late. With an accidental discovery of lowering certain types of emissions from diesel engines, this new way of burning fuel minimizes black carbon from entering the atmosphere and adds life-sustaining oxygen.

Gaia Wakes presents a compelling new framework for understanding the past, present, and future of our planet. Starting from a strong foundation in economics and drawing on a vast range of multidisciplinary scholarship, Topher McDougal explores the possibility of a fifth transition towards an upgraded Earth: the development of a technologically enabled planetary brain capable of coordinating ecological functions and peering far into the future and universe.

Despite efforts to sustain civilization, humanity faces existential threats from overpopulation, globalized trade and travel, urbanization, and global climate change. In A Darwinian Survival Guide, Daniel Brooks and Salvatore Agosta offer a novel—and hopeful—perspective on how to meet these tremendous challenges by changing the discourse from sustainability to survival. Darwinian evolution, the world’s only theory of survival, is the means by which the biosphere has persisted and renewed itself following past environmental perturbations, and it has never failed, they explain.

Spanning more than a century of Indian history, and decidedly transnational in reference, this audiobook offers rich resources for considering the threat of climate change today.

We have most of the technology we need to combat the climate crisis–and most people want to see more action. But after three decades of climate COPs, our global emissions are worse than ever. And we are accelerating into a Polycrisis of climate, food security, biodiversity, pollution, inequality and more. What, exactly, has been holding us back? What will it take for us to do better? In the search for answers that have been so elusive to date, Mike Berners-Lee looks at the challenge from new angles.

A revolution is taking place. Around the world, ordinary people are turning to courts seeking justice for environmental damage. At the forefront of this movement, pioneering barrister Monica Feria-Tinta advocates not only for the people fighting for their homes and livelihoods, but also for those who have no voice: for rivers, forests and endangered species.

Time is up. The climate crisis is no longer a future to be feared, but a devastating reality. We see it in the wildfires in California and floods across Britain—the "once in a generation" extreme weather events that now happen every year. In a world where those in charge are constantly letting us down, real change in our lifetime means taking power into our own hands. The task ahead of us is daunting, but the emergence of a new wave of movements focused on climate justice, equality, and solidarity also brings hope.

The roots of today's environmental catastrophe run deep into humanity's past. Through this unprecedented reading of Homer's Iliad, the award-winning classicist Edith Hall examines how this foundational text both documents the environmental practices of the ancient Greeks and betrays an awareness of the dangers posed by the destruction of the natural landscape. Underlying Homer's account of brutal military operations, alliances, and cataclysmic struggle is a palpable understanding that the direction in which humanity was headed could create a world that was uninhabitable.

"To be a well-informed citizen of Planet Earth," Rolling Stone has advised, "you need to read Elizabeth Kolbert." From her National Magazine Award-winning series The Climate of Man to her Pulitzer Prize-winning book The Sixth Extinction, Kolbert’s work has shaped the way we think about the environment in the twenty-first century. Collected in Life on a Little-Known Planet are her most influential and thought-provoking essays.

If you're injuring someone, you should stop—and pay for the damage you’ve caused. Why, this book asks, does this simple proposition, generally accepted, not apply to climate change? In Climate Justice, a bracing challenge to status-quo thinking on the ethics of climate change, renowned author and legal scholar Cass Sunstein clearly frames what’s at stake and lays out the moral imperative: When it comes to climate change, everyone must be counted equally, regardless of when they live or where they live.

Threat Multiplier takes us onto the battlefield and inside the Pentagon to show how the US military is confronting the biggest security risk in global history: climate change. More than thirty years ago, Sherri Goodman became the Pentagon's first chief environmental officer. Indeed, for much of the twentieth century, the Department of Defense (DOD) was better known for containing the Soviet nuclear threat than protecting the environment.

Climate Action for Busy People is a hopeful and realistic roadmap for individuals and groups who want to boost climate preparedness and move the needle towards environmental justice. Drawing from her professional and personal success in climate adaptation and community organizing, Cate Mingoya-LaFortune begins with a brief history of why our communities look the way they do and how that affects how vulnerable we are to climate risks.
