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 hope - but only if we listen to the science before it's too late.In The Climate Book, Greta Thunberg has gathered the wisdom of over one hundred experts - geophysicists, oceanographers and meteorologists; engineers, economists and mathematicians; historians, philosophers and indigenous leaders - to equip us all with the knowledge we need to combat climate disaster. Alongside them, she shares her own stories of demonstrating and uncovering greenwashing around the world, revealing how much we have been kept in the dark. This is one of our biggest challenges, she shows, but also our greatest source of hope. Once we are given the full picture, how can we not act? And if a schoolchild's strike could ignite a global protest, what could we do collectively if we tried?We are alive at the most decisive time in the history of humanity. Together, we can do the seemingly impossible. But it has to be us, and it has to be now.

« Ce livre est l'un des plus inspirants que j'ai jamais lus. Il pose un regard lucide sur les réalités terrifiantes du changement climatique, mais conclut que l'humanité peut encore faire face à cette menace. De plus, le livre présente le défi existentiel du changement climatique comme une opportunité unique pour construire un monde plus juste et pour nous rendre meilleurs. Plus important encore, il propose une approche résolument pratique et suggère 10 actions concrètes que chacun de nous peut faire afin de créer un avenir possible pour tous les habitants de la planète Terre. J'espère que nous prendrons tous à coeur ce message. » Yuval Harari , auteur de Sapiens, Homo Deus et 21 Leçons pour le XXIe siècle . « L'accord de Paris aura fait date pour l'humanité. Dans ce livre important qui arrive à point nommé, deux des principaux initiateurs de cet accord nous montrent pourquoi et comment nous devons mettre en oeuvre ses engagements. J'espère qu'il sera largement lu et suivi d'actes. Jane Goodall , auteure de Ma vie avec les chimpanzés . Après avoir joué un rôle clé dans l'accord de Paris, Christiana Figueres et Tom Rivett-Carnac ont cofondé Global Optimism, une organisation dédiée au changement environnemental. Ils collaborent avec les plus grands militants écologistes comme Al Gore, Jane Goodall ou Greta Thunberg.

There is no planet B. Activists share how we must inform and organize ourselves to save the future.“Act as though your house is on fire. Because it is.” Following Greta Thunberg, millions of young climate activists have been taking to the streets around the globe as part of the Fridays For Future movement. They demand that we “unite behind the science,” as, for too long, climate scientists have been ringing the alarm bells about rising temperatures, tipping points, and the devastating consequences of extreme weather—but politicians do nothing.So how do you begin to end the climate crisis? Luisa Neubauer and Alexander Repenning begin by telling stories. Neubauer cofounded the youth climate activist group in Germany and has become its most prominent voice. In this book she and Repenning weave in personal accounts of their evolution as climate activists with a thorough analysis of how climate change impacts their generation, and what every one of us can and must do about it. The young and old in the United States and around the world can learn valuable lessons from their European counterparts.

We already know what climate change is and many of us understand the human causes. But what will climate change do to our world? Who will be affected (spoiler: all of us!) and how will our lives change in the future? Topics include sea levels, extreme weather, drought, animal and plant extinction, and human and animal migration. Drawing on real-life situations and stories, journalist Jeff Fleischer takes an informed, approachable look at how our world will likely change as a result of our actions, including suggestions on what we can still do to slow down these unprecedented effects.

Eine Ode an den FortschrittDer Physiker David Deutsch, einer der großen Denker unserer Zeit, bietet seinen Lesern mit diesem bahnbrechenden Buch eine wahre Schatztruhe. Mit bestechend klarer Argumentation und erfrischend optimistischer Grundhaltung erklärt er uns die Welt: Warum ist schrankenloser Fortschritt nicht nur möglich, sondern wünschenswert? Warum nehmen Erklärungen eine bedeutsame Stellung im Kosmos ein? Warum gibt es unzählige Kopien eines jeden von uns in den unendlichen Weiten des Multiversums? Warum sind Blumen schön und unsere heutige Gesellschaft einzigartig in der Geschichte? Dabei schöpft Deutsch aus den Tiefen der Wissensphilosophie und der Evolutionstheorie, aus künstlicher Intelligenz bis hin zur Idee der Nachhaltigkeit. Wer Der Anfang der Unendlichkeit liest, versteht Mensch und Welt besser.»Brillant und mitreißend […]. Deutsch ist so klug, so seltsam, so kreativ, so unerschöpflich neugierig und intellektuell so lebendig, dass es ein ausgesprochenes Privileg ist, Zeit in seinem Kopf zu verbringen.« — David Albert, The New York Times»Ein schillerndes Buch voller gewaltiger Ideen, dargeboten mit unübertroffener Klarheit; [Deutsch] argumentiert, dass Erklärungskraft unsere Welt verändert hat, verändern kann und weiterhin verändern wird.« — The Guardian (London)»[Dieses Buch] ist sowohl philosophisch als auch wissenschaftlich überaus tiefgründig und gleichzeitig in höchstem Maße verständlich […]. Ich glaube nicht, dass ich jemals einer hoffnungsvolleren Aussage über unser Fortschrittspotenzial begegnet bin.« — Sam Harris

A compelling and persuasive look at the social transformations needed to cope with our environmental crises. As this major German bestseller reports, our world is at a tipping point, and we feel it every day. On the one hand, we have never been so well off; on the other hand, we find destruction and crisis everywhere we look. Whether throughout the environment or within society, our systems are under stress. In this book, Maja Göpel, co-founder of the Scientists for Future initiative and a former secretary-general of the German Advisory Council on Global Change, explains that this new reality didn’t just happen overnight, but rather is a result of our continuous actions — actions propelled by principles and beliefs, which have shaped us as a society over generations. We do not solely face an environmental crisis, but also a social one. It’s time to question our principles, set new goals, and re-evaluate our priorities. It’s time to rethink our world, because if we want to keep our livelihoods, we need to find a way of living without draining our planet any further. We need a fair distribution of wealth and a way to reconcile the social with the ecological. Critical, yet full of encouragement, Maja Göpel chooses surprising and enlightening examples to illustrate how we can leave behind our familiar ways of living to achieve a better future. With that, she invites us to look at this future we are shaping every day in a new and completely different way.

Das Buch beginnt mit einem Vorwort von Debbie Bookchin. Nach einer Vorstellung der Arbeit und Ziele der Internationalistischen Kommune allgemein werden die Ideen von Murray Bookchin und Abdullah Öcalan einer geschlechterbefreiten, ökologischen Gesellschaft dargestellt. Die Internationalistische Kommune hat damit, laut Debbie Bookchin, beides, eine Vision und ein Handbuch angefertigt, das beschreibt, wie eine freie, ökologische Gesellschaft aussehen kann. Im Hauptteil des Buches werden dann die ökologischen Herausforderungen in Nordsyrien und mögliche Lösungsansätze für diese dargestellt. In diesem Zusammenhang wird in die Ziele der Kampagne "Make Rojava Green Again" eingeführt. Die Kampagne "Make Rojava Green Again" wurde Anfang des Jahres 2018 mit dem Ziel gestartet, den Aufbau einer ökologischen Gesellschaft in Nordsyrien in den bisherigen Bemühungen zu unterstützen und weiter zu entwickeln.

Journalist Jelmer Mommers has discovered that bringing up the subject of climate change is a great way to ruin a conversation. Most people prefer to look away, resigned to an apocalyptic fate. But the climate crisis does not have to signify The End. Mommers argues that there are ways we can mitigate, prevent, and even reverse the damage. Drawing on the most up-to-date climate science, Mommers describes the current state of the environment and shows how we got here, outlines possible outcomes if we act and if we don't, and debunks common misconceptions--from outright denial to fatalism. He then explains what we can do individually and collectively to address the crisis, from taking trains rather than flying short distances, to ensuring we aren't invested in fossil fuels, to using activism and our voting power to encourage governments to build renewable energy sources. This is an illuminating and urgent book for everyone who is looking away--and it is also inspiring as it offers hope and a plan. There will be future generations to whom we will have to explain ourselves, so let's start by making better choices now.

A cautionary but optimistic book about the world’s changing climate and the fate of humanity, from two of the architects of the 2015 Paris Agreement. • "One of the most inspiring books I've ever read." —Yuval HarariChristiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnac outline two possible scenarios for our planet. In one, they describe what life on Earth will be like by 2050 if we fail to meet the Paris Agreement’s climate targets. In the other, they lay out what it will be like to live in a regenerative world that has net-zero emissions. They argue for confronting the climate crisis head-on, with determination and optimism. The Future We Choose presents our options and tells us what governments, corporations, and each of us can, and must, do to fend off disaster.
