In The Future We Choose, Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnac - head of the UN negotiating team for the historic 2015 Paris Agreement - issue a warning, but also offer an optimistic outlook, regarding climate change and the future of humanity.

The authors present two possible scenarios for our planet. In one, they describe what life on Earth will be like in 2050 if we do not achieve the climate goals of the Paris Agreement. In the other, they explain what it will be like to live in a regenerative world with a carbon-neutral balance. They argue that the climate crisis must be addressed urgently, with determination and optimism. The Future We Choose presents the alternative solutions available to us and tells us what governments, companies, and each of us can and must do to prevent destruction.
