Innovative and informative, provocative and persuasive, the Great Ideas book series approaches with a completely new perspective the fundamental ideas that have such a great impact on our lives and our world today.

Climate change is causing chaos on the planet, oceans are drowning in plastic, Earth's natural ecosystems are decimated, and a million species of plants and animals are at risk of extinction. We have already caused global warming of approximately 1°C from the 19th century to today. Can we fulfill the ambitious goal of the Conference on Climate Change, which took place in Paris in 2015, and limit global warming to the limit of 1.5°C?

Are we able to fully turn to renewable energy sources? Can we break free from our dependence on single-use plastics and recycle the rest? Can we plant new forests to create areas that absorb carbon dioxide? This insightful and awakening book in the Great Ideas series examines a wide range of technological, environmental, and political actions that we have at our disposal to stop the destruction we are causing and build a planet in which every species can thrive.
