Hope in Hell: How We Can Confront the Climate Crisis & Save the Earth (Earth Aware Editions, April 2021).\xa0 It's no longer a Climate Crisis.\xa0 It has become a Climate Emergency.\n\nUltimately optimistic despite the dire challenge presented to the world, Porritt explores current science and new technologies, mobilization of younger people and political action, and encouraging intergenerational solidarity as older generations learn their own responsibilities in creating a better world for their successors.\xa0 To face a challenge greater than humanity has ever seen before, we must also accelerate ourselves, by summoning a sense of urgency, courage, and shared effort to match it.\n\nJonathon Porritt, Co-Founder of Forum for the Future, is an eminent writer, broadcaster and campaigner on sustainable development. Established in 1996, Forum for the Future is now the UK\u2019s leading sustainable development charity, with 70 staff and over 100 partner organisations, including some of the world\u2019s leading companies.\n\n______________________\n\nVan Carter is a retired broadcast journalist.
