THE FUTURE WE CHOOSE

In this passionate, inspiring manifesto Christiana Figueres, UN Secretary for Climate Change during the Paris Agreement will outline her vision for a sustainable future. Writing with Tom Rivett-Carnac, her deputy at the UN and co-founder of the Global Optimism movement, Christiana will show us three possible scenarios for our future, dependent upon the actions we take now. Fiercely optimistic and practical, Christiana will show us that we can and will achieve the shift necessary to halt global warming and sustain human life. She also shows what each of us can do personally to bring about the change needed.
This is the final hour: it can be our finest hour. We can and will solve our climate crisis, but we must act now.

Christiana Figueres was the UN Executive Secretary for Climate Change between 2010 and 2016. She was the public face of the most pivotal climate agreement in history, the Paris Climate Agreement, in 2015.
Tom Rivett-Carnac was senior political strategist for the Paris Agreement. Together they are the co-founders of Global Optimism, an organisation focused on creating environmental and social change, and co-hosts of the podcast Outrage and Optimism.
