'Brave and unflinching in setting out the reality of the hell
towards which we're headed, but even more urgent, passionate and
compelling about the grounds for hope if we change course fast
enough, Hope in Hell is a powerful call to arms from one of
Britain's most eloquent and trusted campaigners.' Caroline Lucas,
MP 'Extraordinarily powerful, deeply troubling, scathing but
ultimately purposeful and hopeful. This book is a clarion call to
action, and action now. After reading this, we know for sure that
nothing, not even a pandemic, must divert us from the most serious
problem facing every living creature on the planet. In plain
language, Jonathon Porritt is spelling it out. This is our last
chance. Read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest. Then act.' Michael
Morpurgo Climate change is the defining issue of our time - we
know, beyond reasonable doubt, what that science now tells us. Just
as climate change is accelerating, so too must we - summoning up a
greater sense of urgency, courage and shared endeavour than
humankind has ever seen before. The Age of Climate Change is an age
of superlatives: most extreme this, biggest that, most costly ever.
The impacts worsen every year, played out in people's backyards and
communities, and more and more people around the world now realise
this is going to be a massive challenge for the rest of their
lives. In Hope in Hell, Porritt confronts that dilemma head on. He
believes we have time to do what needs to be done, but only if we
move now - and move together. In this ultimately optimistic book,
he explores all these reasons to be hopeful: new technology; the
power of innovation; the mobilisation of young people - and a sense
of intergenerational solidarity as older generations come to
understand their own obligation to secure a safer world for their
children and grandchildren.
