A Future We Can Love

Discover wisdom and guidance to face the climate emergency from the most influential spiritual and environmental leaders of our time, including the Dalai Lama, Greta Thunberg, Joanna Macy, Vandana Shiva, Paul Hawken, Katharine Hayhoe, Matthieu Ricard, and many more.

A Future We Can Love shares dialogues on the climate emergency between dozens of visionary scientists, activists, and spiritual luminaries. These important voices include indigenous scholar and artist Lyla June, medical biochemist and author Diana Beresford-Kroeger, climate scientist and Zen teacher Kritee Kanko, interfaith environmental leader Dekila Chungyalpa, Buddhist teacher Willa Blythe Baker, Rabbi Steve Leder, and many more. Through world-changing conversations, readers will embark on a four-part journey toward active hope in the face of the climate crisis: from knowledge of climate science, through the capacity for change, to the will that is needed, and the actions we can take. This book will help you:

• comfort your climate anxiety and metabolize grief or burnout into wonderment and useful energy.
• recognize interdependence as key to our well-being and as a lens for understanding both the climate crisis and its solutions.
• clarify why feedback loops leave us no time to wait on climate action.
• develop your own rituals and practices for connecting to Earth and renewing hope.
• overcome common obstacles to speaking and acting clearly on behalf of the human and wild communities most affected by the climate crisis.
