*Dr Sustainability’s Recommended Read*
With the Conference of Parties (COP) 2024 on Climate Change over and a further push for action, my Recommended Read is ‘There is No Planet B: A Handbook for the Make or Break Years’ (Updated 2021 edition), authored by Mike Breners-Lee.
🕵♀️ Breners-Lee is leading expert on carbon footprinting and offers a well-researched and written book, which is accessible to a wide audience.
📚 Published by Cambridge University Press the book is available in Kindle as well as Paperback format. The book is 336 pages in length and reasonably priced.
📮 The updated 2021 edition offers fresh content on protests, pandemics, wildfires, carbon targets, investment and much more…all of which are centred around key questions such as: given all this, what can I do? how can we avoid blundering into disaster?
📈 Where there is feeding of fear, Breners-Lee explores the various environmental and economic challenges we face today with practical actions we can take to enact positive change. He crunches the numbers and plots a course of action that is full of hope.
📗 Concepts centred around our ‘need’ and ‘greed’ are tactically handled in a balanced diligent manner without shying away from such topics, with data and facts used to support.
❓ The book contains a depth of information featuring regular Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs), making it digestible and easy to reflect on.
💭 The author goes further to reflectively address his own perspective around the answers he offers within the book, which inherently shows critical thinking.
😂 Dispute the heavy subjects being tackled, the book is also written with humility and humour which engages a reader.
🏃♀️ Overall this book is recommended for an individual or organisation open-minded and willing to act.
Happy Reading Folks!
