About this listen

A cautionary but optimistic book about the world’s changing climate and the fate of humanity, from Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnac—who led negotiations for the United Nations during the historic Paris Agreement of 2015.

The authors 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.

What the critics say

"Tom Rivett-Carnac, have penned a book that shepherds climate activism from changing mental states to changing the world...the authors recommend a mindset for climate activism that rests on three attitudes: radical optimism, endless abundance and radical regeneration."—Forbes

"Inspiring... A practically minded manifesto for personal action in the face of climate change."—Kirkus Reviews

“The Paris Agreement was a landmark for humankind. In this timely and important book, two of the principal creators of that agreement show us why and how we can now realize its promise. I hope it is widely read and acted on.”—Jane Goodall, author of In the Shadow of Man

This is something that should be listened to by decision makers globally

In light of the current Pandemic and the shutdown of the world’s economies. Any of the suggested solutions offered at the end of the book could be used by leaders around the world to restart their economies and Kickstart a renewables revolution. We should not return to business as usual. I would definitely recommend this book to everyone.
