What This Collection Covers:
This climate action set weaves together global and national perspectives on reducing emissions and accelerating the transition to clean energy. The Future We Choose provides a broad, aspirational map—showing that the crisis can be met with a coordinated mix of policy change, technological innovation, and cultural shift. What We Need to Do Now translates that map into a practical playbook tailored to real-world conditions in the UK: it highlights policy levers, energy strategies, and technological pathways that can move the needle toward carbon neutrality. Readers will find a balanced pairing of visionary leadership with ground-level pragmatism—a rare combination that helps readers move from concern to action. The collection invites discussions on energy systems, transportation, housing, and industry, making it a valuable resource for those seeking to understand what needs to happen—and how quickly—to secure a sustainable future.

Book-by-Book Guide:
The Future We Choose—Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnac lay out two possible futures in the climate narrative and argue why the turning point is now. Drawing on decades of climate diplomacy and policy work, they offer a clear, optimistic call to action that emphasizes tangible steps across sectors, from energy to policy and everyday behavior. By pairing accessible storytelling with grounded analysis, the authors invite readers to see themselves as active participants in shaping a safer climate, rather than passive observers of a looming crisis. This paperback edition distills complex science into practical, shareable insights that empower readers to participate in the global climate conversation with confidence and resolve.

What We Need to Do Now—Chris Goodall provides a direct, UK-centered plan for achieving carbon neutrality by 2050. He outlines a pragmatic path that leverages existing technologies and policies already emerging worldwide, with emphasis on scale and speed. Key proposals include building a substantial over-capacity of wind and solar power, then storing surplus energy as hydrogen, and using hydrogen as a versatile energy carrier, including for trains and other transport modes. Goodall’s approach is accessible to readers who want concrete steps, cost considerations, and timelines, making this a practical companion to the broader climate narrative. This hardcover edition complements the broader discussion with data-driven arguments and policy-oriented clarity designed to inform decision-makers and engaged citizens alike.
