"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"--… (mais)

The new understanding established that reducing emissions is indeed a responsibility of every nation, for its own enlightened self-interest as well as for the benefit of the planet as a whole. The mindset shift and associated new language in the text – away from competition and towards shared winning, where everyone can gain from a new abundance without impinging on each other – unlocked the door to the global agreement that would be signed in Paris the following year.

A really inspiring book, which I would recommend everyone to read. It’s still not too late to save ourselves, if we cultivate a mindset of stubborn optimism and work together.

The good news is that economists increasingly consider the 17 Sustainable Development Goals to be sensible objectives. Advancing the SDG framework makes it absolutely possible for us to achieve sustainable growth, effect emissions reductions, and reduce poverty in consonance with one another in mutually reinforcing systems.

You can find the 17 goals at https://sdgs.un.org/goals ( )

It could be terrible, or it could be quite wonderful. It's up to us. Here is a roadmap to the ways of thinking and the practical steps required of us at this critical juncture. ( )

El cambio climático es el problema más acuciante al que nos hemos enfrentado jamás. La forma en que lo abordemos en los próximos treinta años determinará absolutamente el mundo en el que viviremos y el legado que dejaremos a las futuras generaciones.

En este libro, Christiana Figueres y Tom Rivett-Carnac #los artífices del histórico Acuerdo de París# nos dibujan dos posibles escenarios y nos advierten de las catastróficas consecuencias de no hacer nada. Poderoso, divulgativo y optimista, Elfuturopordecidir nos ofrece las herramientas para enfrentar la crisis climática y nos muestra las opciones de cambio existentes para que, desde cualquier ámbito, podamos reconducir la situación.

About 170 of the 240 pages are the actual text of the book; the rest is an appendix, a bibliography, and a list of further reading resources. And then within that actual text, I personally found very little to be helpful. I liked the intro and the part at the end that actually talked about the choices we could make and the changes we need to implement in our lives to survive the climate crisis, as the title says. I didn't like all of the "what if" scenarios and psychological self-analysis that preceded the action items in the book.

Your mileage may vary. I imagine there are some people who would get a lot more out of this book than I did. The subject is definitely important and worth reading about, but if this book doesn't inspire you to action, find one that will. It's too important a cause to get complacent about. ( )
