Climate crisis threatens future from "summary" of The Future We Choose by Christiana Figueres,Tom Rivett-Carnac
The climate crisis is not a distant threat that can be ignored. It is a clear and present danger that is already impacting our world in profound and destructive ways. From extreme weather events to rising sea levels, the signs of a planet in peril are all around us. If we continue on our current path, the consequences will be catastrophic. Entire ecosystems will collapse, millions of people will be displaced, and the global economy will suffer irreparable damage. The future we leave for our children and grandchildren will be one of chaos and despair. But it doesn't have to be this way. We have the knowledge and the technology to mitigate the worst effects of climate change. We can transition to a clean energy economy, protect and restore our natural habitats, and build a more sustainable world for future generations. The choices we make today will determine the world we leave behind. If we act now, with urgency and determination, we can avert the worst impacts of the climate crisis and create a better future for all. The time for action is now. We owe it to ourselves, and to future generations, to choose a path of sustainability and stewardship.
