Buying Time For Climate Action: Exploring Ways Around Stumbling Blocks: 8 (Exploring Complexity)

The 2021 IPCC report made one thing crystal clear - global climate change is here to stay and if we do not act quickly and effectively it will lead to inconceivable suffering by billions of people and possibly eradication of technological human civilization. Buying Time, an exploration into ways around stumbling blocks is the combined narrative of world class experts, all committed to help humanity survive its largely self-induced self-destructive course. Changing that course requires urgent action. The experts who contributed to this volume, through their expertise, networks, wisdom and creativity, have largely concluded that the way to cope with the stumbling blocks is to avoid them by focusing on grassroots initiatives. Their narratives and discussions, presented in this book, highlight such thinking. The book is essential reading for anyone passionate to help avoid an existential disaster for humanity, and ready to move plans into effective action.
