What If We Get It Right?: Visions of Climate Futures

Sometimes the bravest thing we can do while facing an existential crisis is imagine life on the other side. This provocative and joyous book maps an inspiring landscape of possible climate futures.
 

With clear-eyed essays, vibrant interviews, data, poetry, and art, Dr. Ayana Johnson guides readers through solutions and possibilities at the nexus of science, policy, culture, and justice.
 

The world has changed a wee bit since 2024, so the paperback edition includes the most recent stats, some spicy new footnotes, and four new interviews.
