Our Choice: A Plan to Solve the Climate Crisis is a work of stunning importance. This is the only book I am aware of that lays out a comprehensive picture of the problems causing the climate crisis; the realistic and feasible solutions; and what it will take financially, politically, and emotionally to get there.

COP15 was unprecedented outpouring of concern, support and effort by tens of thousands of people in person and many more via virtual and electronic participation.
