Looking at climate futures with imagination and resolve

With a recently concluded global climate summit with challenging takeaways, an incoming president who vows to again remove the U.S. from international climate agreements, and increasing weather disasters that defy what went before, a look at what is being called an existential crisis could be grim. But that’s not the kind of book Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson has written. “What If We Get It Right? Visions of Climate Futures” is a provocative mix of essays, interviews, data, poetry and art, as Johnson guides the reader through solutions and possibilities at the nexus of science, policy, culture and justice. She is a marine biologist, policy expert, co-founder of the nonprofit think tank Urban Ocean Lab and a guest on Equal Time.
