The 2021 IPCC report made one thing crystal clear — global climate change is here to stay. Time is up. We need to act or climate change will lead to inconceivable suffering by billions of people.

Buying Time for Climate Action is the combined narrative of world class experts, all committed to help humanity survive the largely self-induced destructive course. Urgent action is needed to change that course. Determining which actions will lead to helpful change requires insights into the stumbling blocks that will always emerge when change is planned, resulting in lost time. The experts who contributed to this volume, through their networks, wisdom and creativity, have largely concluded that to cope with the stumbling blocks, we should focus on grassroots initiatives.

The book is essential reading for anyone committed to helping prevent an existential disaster to humanity, and move exciting plans into effective action.

Buying Time for Climate Action: Exploring Ways around Stumbling Blocks retails for US$18 / £15 (paperback) and US$25 / £20 (hardcover) and is also available in electronic formats. To order or know more about the book, visit http://www.worldscientific.com/worldscibooks/10.1142/12641
