They explore climate change solutions that will make the world healthier and more prosperous, aiming to begin a new type of conversation on the issue that will spur bolder action by cities, businesses, and citizens--and even, someday, by Washington. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"\u003ci\u003eClimate of Hope\u003c\/i\u003e is an inspiring must read.\" --\u003cb\u003eFormer Vice President Al Gore\u003c\/b\u003e, Chairman of The Climate Reality Project \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"Climate change threatens to reshape the future of our world's population centers.

But not Michael Bloomberg and Carl Pope. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eBloomberg, an entrepreneur and former mayor of New York City, and Pope, a lifelong environmental leader, approach climate change from different perspectives, yet they arrive at similar conclusions. Without agreeing on every point, they share a belief that cities, businesses, and citizens can lead--and win--the battle against climate change, no matter which way the political winds in Washington may shift. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn\u003ci\u003e Climate of Hope\u003c\/i\u003e, Bloomberg and Pope offer an optimistic look at the challenge of climate change, the solutions they believe hold the greatest promise, and the practical steps that are necessary to achieve them. Writing from their own experiences, and sharing their own stories from government, business, and advocacy, Bloomberg and Pope provide a road map for tackling the most complicated challenge the world has ever faced. Along the way, they turn the usual way of thinking about climate change on its head: from top down to bottom up, from partisan to pragmatic, from costs to benefits, from tomorrow to today, and from fear to hope.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e St. Martin's Griffin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/03\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781250142085\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.40w x 0.70d","brand":"Michael Bloomberg, Carl Pope","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43600272916661,"sku":"9781250142085","price":18.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/files\/img_0eed36b2-a936-42f0-b872-8a5975d373e7.jpg?v=1707206767","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/climate-of-hope-how-cities-businesses-and-citizens-can-save-the-planet-9781250142085","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
