"This book features essays from leading experts on the proven ways to resolve the key issues facing the planet in the next very critical 11 or 12 years, covering a range of topics from electric aviation and lithium batteries to biodiversity and the circular economy"--

This game-changing action plan comes from 15 world-leading climate experts. It reveals the struggles and best practices of climate heroes as they ramp up change, win the battle against the profit-takers, halt nonsensical debates and destruction, embrace bold action, and create an equitable, affordable, and healthy world for our children.



Fifteen climate experts combine forces to present a plan for slowing and ultimately preventing further destruction to our planet.

As governments and businesses continue to set climate goals for reducing carbon emissions and slowing global warming, scientists, engineers, and policymakers are using cutting-edge research to introduce new climate technologies and strategies for achieving and potentially surpassing these goals.

Presented by world-leading climate scientists and futurists, Proven Climate Solutions offers a dynamic, evidence-based action plan that uncovers the hard work, dedication, and best practices of climate heroes who are accelerating change and winning the battle to protect our environment. BF Nagy along with Bill McKibben, Mark Jacobson, Robert Howarth, Nancy Ryan, and ten other top climate leaders have synthesized a clear pathway for a rapid energy transition ramp-up. This includes game-changing climate emergency solutions and governing policies to supercharge deployment and finally retire old, obsolete systems and tired ideas.

The essays included cover a wide range of environmental innovations from renewables and batteries to water technologies and biodiversity and much more, highlighting the strengths, weaknesses, and roles to be played by new technologies and offering readers encouragement for a climate-friendly future. It is long past time to halt the nonsense and destruction, instead embracing the crucial changes and bold actions needed to create an equitable, affordable, and healthy world for our children. This definitive guide provides the facts on proven, practical solutions now being deployed, and how these solutions can be accelerated to save our planet before it's too late.
