Summary of The Future We Choose

The Future We Choose, co-authored by Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnac, is a guide to dealing with the global climate crisis. The authors set out two possible paths for the future, one where we continue to ignore or face the consequences of climate change, and another where we take bold steps to mitigate its effects. Through their firsthand experience in the international climate negotiations, the pair shows the readers how they can create a safe and prosperous future for themselves and for generations to come. They explore the social, economic, and technological solutions to the climate crisis and offer a practical framework to transition to a safer future. The authors insist that it is possible to create this future, and they provide a roadmap to get there. The book serves as an inspirational call to action to readers, encouraging them to build the future we choose through pragmatic, preventive, and restorative actions.
