If our planet is going to survive the climate crisis, we need to
act rapidly. Taking cues from progressive cities around the world,
including Los Angeles, New York, Toronto, Oslo, Shenzhen, and
Sydney, this book is a summons to every city to make small but
significant changes that can drastically reduce our carbon
footprint. We cannot wait for national governments to agree on how
to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and manage the average
temperature rise to within 1.5 degrees. In Solved, David Miller
argues that cities are taking action on climate change because they
can - and because they must. Miller makes a clear-eyed and
compelling case that, if replicated at pace and scale, the actions
of leading global cities point the way to creating a more
sustainable planet. Solved: How the World's Great Cities Are Fixing
the Climate Crisis demonstrates that the initiatives cities have
taken to control the climate crisis can make a real difference in
reducing global emissions if implemented worldwide. By chronicling
the stories of how cities have taken action to meet and exceed
emissions targets laid out in the Paris Agreement, Miller empowers
readers to fix the climate crisis. As much a "how to" guide for
policymakers as a work for concerned citizens, Solved aims to
inspire hope through its clear and factual analysis of what can be
done - now, today - to mitigate our harmful emissions and pave the
way to a 1.5-degree world.
