In The Future We Choose, Christina Figueres and Tom Rivvett-Carnac draw on their experience leading negotiations for the United Nations during the 2015 Paris Agreement. After detailing two thought provoking scenarios for our planet – depending on whether we succeed or fail in meeting the Paris climate targets – the authors argue to confront the climate crisis head-on, by presenting solutions for governments, corporations and individuals. Often compared to Attenborough’s A Life on Our Planet, the book easily communicates complex ideas and is a powerful read for people new to climate activism.

A light but insightful read.

"A great resource to pass on to someone getting started with their climate action journey. It even describes two hypothetical futures in which we either fail or succeed at avoiding climate disaster. Scary but helpful,"
