description: Brave and unflinching in setting out the reality of the hell towards which were headed but even more urgent passionate and compelling about the grounds for hope if we change course fast enough Hope in Hell is a powerful call to arms from one of Britains most eloquent and trusted campaigners. Caroline Lucas MP'Extraordinarily powerful deeply troubling scathing but ultimately purposeful and hopeful. This book is a clarion call to action and action now. After reading this we know for sure that nothing not even a pandemic must divert us from the most serious problem facing every living creature on the planet. In plain language Jonathon Porritt is spelling it out. This is our last chance. Read mark learn and inwardly digest. Then act.' Michael Morpurgo Climate change is the defining issue of our time - we know beyond reasonable doubt what that science now tells us. Just as climate change is accelerating so too must we  summoning up a greater sense of urgency courage and shared endeavour than humankind has ever seen before. The Age of Climate Change is an age of superlatives: most extreme this biggest that most costly ever. The impacts worsen every year played out in peoples backyards and communities and more and more people around the world now realise this is going to be a massive challenge for the rest of their lives. In Hope in Hell Porritt confronts that dilemma head on. He believes we have time to do what needs to be done but only if we move now  and move together. In this ultimately optimistic book he explores all these reasons to be hopeful: new technology; the power of innovation; the mobilisation of young people  and a sense of intergenerational solidarity as older generations come to understand their own obligation to secure a safer world for their children and grandchildren.
