Earthshot: How To Save Our Planet

Beskrivelse

Earthshot: How to Save Our Planet outlines a bold plan to address the environmental crisis with urgency and hope. It presents five ambitious goals aimed at protecting nature, cleaning the air, restoring oceans, eliminating waste, and fixing the climate by 2030.

A powerful call to action for global change within the next decade.

The Earthshot formula is clear: Urgency plus Optimism equals Action. With only ten years left to reverse the damage to our planet, the world must unite behind the best solutions and a single shared mission-to save Earth. These Earthshot goals are designed to improve life for everyone, all living creatures, and future generations if achieved by 2030.

The five key targets are to protect and restore nature, clean our air, revive our oceans, create a waste-free world, and repair the climate. This book is the first definitive guide explaining how these goals can address the environmental challenges facing ecosystems from rainforests and coral reefs to wilderness areas, urban centers, and even our own homes.

Earthshot is a vital contribution to one of the most urgent stories of our time. As Prince William, founder of The Earthshot Prize, explains, humanity stands at a critical crossroads: continue on a destructive path or harness our unique ability to innovate and solve problems. The coming decade is a crucial test-a call for decisive action to heal the planet.

Rejecting despair, Earthshot is packed with inspiring stories of scientists, activists, and everyday people working tirelessly to restore oceans, purify the air, conserve nature, eliminate waste, and combat climate change. It serves as a global manifesto for a brighter future, created through a truly collaborative effort.

The book features contributions from notable figures including Christiana Figueres, former UN Climate Change Chief and architect of the Paris Agreement; singer and philanthropist Shakira Mebarak; environmental activist Hindou Oumarou Ibrahim; astronaut Naoko Yamazaki; and renowned natural historian Sir David Attenborough. It also includes an introduction by HRH Prince William.
