The book also provides a platform for those from a range of diverse backgrounds, whose unique experience and knowledge brings vital new perspectives. From those already feeling the impacts of climate change in the Global South to community leaders fighting to create real alternatives, we get a chance to understand the nuances and possibilities of the task ahead.

Prof. Rupert Read teaches Philosophy at the University of East Anglia in Norwich, UK, working alongside some of the world’s top climate scientists. His academic work includes Ecological and Political Philosophy (including critiques of Rawlsian liberalism and of ’natural capital', and work on the Precautionary Principle). He is also a renowned Wittgensteinian scholar.
He has dedicated much of his life to working at a local, national and international level in the fight against climate collapse and was recently described as "one of the world's leading climate activists”.
Several of his talks on YouTube have hundreds of thousands of views, including ’This Civilisation is Finished’, given at Cambridge University in October 2018.
