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."--Google Books viewed Aug. 16, 2021. 650 0 $a Climatic changes $x Forecasting. 650 0 $a Climatic changes $x Social aspects. 650 0 $a Environmental policy $x Forecasting. 650 0 $a Global environmental change. 700 1 $a Rivett-Carnac, Tom, $e author. 941 $a 1 952 $l UUAX975 $d 20220909084730.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=A941F2FC300611EDA406B4E81FECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IOBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
