- Books: My favourite is “The Future We Choose“ (Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnac). It’s a great introduction to climate change and is full of hope. I also recommend “Drawdown“ (Paul Hawken), “Commanding Hope“ (Thomas Homer-Dixon), “A Good War: Mobilizing Canada“ (Seth Klein), “All We Can Save“ (Ayana Elizabeth Johnson with contributions from over 50 female climate leaders), “How to Avoid a Climate Disaster” (Bill Gates), and “The Ministry For The Future: A novel“ (Kim Robinson).
- YouTube: Canadian scientist Katharine Hayhoe “The most important thing you can do to fight climate change: TALK ABOUT IT“
