Requests:  0 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"--   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Aina Haina Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.73874 Fi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hawaii State Library Social Science & Philosophy 363.73874 Fi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.73874 Figueres Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kealakekua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.73874 Fi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Lihue Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.73874 Fi Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 363.73874 Fi Checked In Add Copy to MyList
