Climate change is the most critical and controversial issue facing the world in the twenty-first century. Everyone agrees we must keep global warming to under 2˚C and under 1.5˚C if possible. But how can we do this while dealing with the other great challenges of our age: global poverty, population growth, environmental degradation and global security. Climate change seems too big to deal with but Professor Maslin shows us how we can save our Planet from climate change while improving everyone’s lives.
