Regeneration is honest and informative, a rebuttal to doomsayers who believe it is too late.—Jane Goodall

The climate crisis is urgent: the IPCC has warned that raising temperatures are already partially baked in, and experts insist that only a rapid international reduction of emissions will keep the increase in global temperature below 1.5 degrees Celsius. Without immediate action, climate change will be catastrophic to human life.

So can we bear the burden?

Beyond this grim picture, Paul Hawken offers a hopeful alternative: a bright future that climate activists are already fighting for.

Hawken describes not just a current, ongoing fight against climate change; it’s an invitation for everyone to take part in fighting for our children, the poor, and the marginalized. In the new book Regeneration, Hawken tracks the incredible present-day work of an inclusive climate movement eager and ready to engage with us in order to solve immediate, real-world problems while we cut emissions. Looking at current needs instead of future existential threats, Regeneration presents exciting, ready, real-world solutions including the fifteen-minute city, bioregions, azolla fern, food localization, fire ecology, decommodification, forests as farms, and the number-one solution for the world: electrification.

Climate work isn’t a burden; it’s a gift, if we choose to take it. Don’t miss Paul Hawken in a one-hour, Kepler’s Literary Foundation conversation on how to transform our world.
