the Week with Andrew Marr One of the Financial Times' best books of
2021 In this extraordinary journey through twenty-six countries,
Simon Mundy meets the people on the front lines of the climate
crisis, showing how the struggle to respond is already reshaping
the modern world - shattering communities, shaking up global
business, and propelling a groundbreaking wave of cutting-edge
innovation. HOW is China's green energy push driving a hazardous
mining rush in Congo? WHY is a maverick scientist building a home
for engineered mammoths in northeast Siberia? CAN an Israeli fake
meat startup make a fortune while helping to save the Amazon? WILL
Greenland's melting sea ice put its people at the centre of a
global power struggle? WHO are the entrepreneurs chasing
breakthroughs in fusion power, electric cars, and technology to
suck carbon from the atmosphere? As the impacts of climate change
cascade across the planet and the global economy, who is battling
to survive the worst impacts - and who is chasing the most
lucrative rewards? Telling unforgettable human stories from six
continents, this is an account of disaster, of promise, of frantic
adaptation and relentless innovation, of hope, of survival, and of
the forces that will define our future. More praise 'Vivid and
informed' ADAM NICOLSON 'I took a great sense of hope' RICHARD
POWERS 'Reads like a thriller' MARK LYNAS 'An inspiring piece of
work that deserves a broad audience' MICHAEL E. MANN 'Utterly
