Book Review
Booklife by Publisher's Weekly
In the face of ever-increasing temperature and a prevailing sense of resigned helplessness, emergency advisor Kent-Hughes offers something healthier than doom scrolling: a helpful guide on ways that individuals can make a difference in fighting one of the hottest topics in global politics, climate change. Clear, compact, and practical, Creating A Better Climate Future has been crafted as an encouraging eight-step “emergency plan,” complete with action steps, for making change, becoming “a client hero,” building momentum, and inspiring others.
Emphasizing the urgency of creating community and spreading a positive vision, Kent-Hughes demonstrates how to set achievable objectives connected to larger climate goals (switch from a linear to a circular economy; “Halve per capita global food loss and food waste”) in key categories like food and transportation, all of which he lays out with clarity. His guidance for change-making is targeted to readers’ individual skills, interests, and availability, from “lifestyle changer”s to “online influencers” and “non-violent direct action.” Throughout the guide, different categories of action (influence, connect, communicate) are color coded for ease of use. Readers eager to feel that individual efforts contribute to a broader movement will find much that resonates.
Takeaway: Inspiration and action steps for individuals eager to push back against climate change.
