Joëlle Gergis in conversation with Jonica Newby
Joëlle Gergis will be in conversation with Jonica Newby on Joëlle's new book Humanity's Moment A Climate Scientist's Case for Hope, a personal call to action from a lead author on the United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Sixth Assessment Report, a global, state-of-the art review of climate change science.
Joëlle shows us that the solutions we need to live sustainably already exist - we just need the social movement and political will to create a better world. This book is a climate scientist's guide to rekindling hope, and a call to action to restore our relationship with ourselves, each other and our planet.
In Humanity's Moment, Joëlle takes us through the science in the IPCC report with unflinching honesty, explaining what it means for our future, while sharing her personal reflections on bearing witness to the heartbreak of the climate emergency unfolding in real time. But this is not a lament for a lost world. It is an inspiring reminder that human history is an endless tug-of-war for social justice. We are each a part of an eternal evolutionary force that can transform our world.
