What If We Get It Right?:
Visions of Climate Futures
About the book: Sometimes the bravest thing we can do while facing an existential crisis is imagine life on the other side. This is a provocative and joyous collection of clear-eyed essays, 20 vibrant interviews, data, poetry, and art that map an inspiring landscape of solutions and possibilities at the nexus of science, policy, culture, and justice. The book conjures a transformed, replenished, and loving world—and shows us that it is worth the effort, the overhaul, to get there, together.
