Climate change isn’t just transforming our physical environment, it’s permanently shifting the landscape of energy, farming, technology and business. It’s eroding ancient ways of life, shaking up global finance and driving a historic new wave of mass migration. In this extraordinary journey across twenty-six countries, Simon Mundy meets the people embroiled in a race that is already reshaping the modern world. Filled with richly reported human stories from every inhabited continent, this is an account of disaster, of promise, of frantic adaptation and relentless innovation, of hope, of survival, and of the forces that will define our future.
