Recenzje

This is one of the most inspiring books I have ever read. Yuval Harari

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

Figueres and Rivett-Carnac dare to tell us how our response can create a better, fairer world. Naomi Klein

There could not be a more important book. Richard Branson

A book that shepherds climate activism from changing mental states to changing the world. . . . Th e 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 book takes a hard look at the frightening realities of climate change but concludes that humanity can still deal with this threat. Moreover, the book presents the existential challenge of climate change as a unique opportunity to build a more just world and to make ourselves better people. Most importantly, the book adopts a very practical approach and suggests ten concrete actions that each of us can take in order to create a better future for all the residents of planet Earth. I hope we all take this message to heart. Yuval Noah Harari, bestselling author of Sapiens and 21 Lessons for the 21st Century

This could be the most important wake- up call of our times. Klaus Schwab, CEO, World Economic Forum
