Sinopsis

As the risks of the climate crisis continue to grow, so too do the challenges of facing a harsh climate future with honesty and courage, justice and compassion, meaning and purpose.áHope and Courage in the Climate Crisis explores diverse sources of learning and wisdom -from climate scientists and activists, philosophers and social theorists, Indigenous cultures and ways of life, faith based and spiritual traditions, artists and writers -which can help us live courageous, compassionate and creative lives in a world of rapidly accelerating climatic and ecological risk.Accelerating the transition to a just and resilient zero-carbon society will require visionary leadership and courageous collective action. Awareness that rapid action might still be insufficient to prevent severe and irreversible social and ecological damage is however a source of deep concern for many people passionately committed to decisive climate action.áDrawing on broad experience as a climate activist, researcher and policy maker John Wiseman provides a wide ranging, accessible and provocative guided tour of ideas which can inspire and sustain radical hope and defiant courage in the long emergency which now lies before us.
