The program is read by Carl Pope and Charles Pellett with an introduction read by the author.

From Mayor Michael Bloomberg and former head of the Sierra Club Carl Pope comes a manifesto on how the advantages of taking action on climate change are concrete, immediate, and immense. They explore climate change solutions that will make the globe healthier and even more prosperous, looking to begin a new type of discussion on the problem that will spur bolder actions by cities, businesses, and citizens-and about Climate of Hope: How Metropolitan areas, Businesses, and Residents Can Save the Planet even, someday, by Washington.

‘Climate of Wish is an inspiring need to read.’ -Former Vice Leader Al Gore, Chairman from the Climate Reality Project

“Climate change threatens to reshape the continuing future of our world’s population centers. Bloomberg and Pope have already been leaders on fortifying our cities against this threat, and their book proves that victory is possible-and essential.” -Leonardo DiCaprio

‘If Trump is looking for a blueprint, he cannot do much better than to read a good new book, Environment of Hope.’ -Thomas Friedman in THE BRAND NEW York Times

The 2016 election left many individuals who are concerned about the environment fearful that progress on climate change would come screeching to a halt. However, not Michael Bloomberg and Carl Pope.

Bloomberg, an entrepreneur and former mayor of New York City, and Pope, a lifelong environmental head, approach climate change from different perspectives, yet they reach related conclusions. Without agreeing on every point, they share a perception that cities, businesses, and people can lead-and win-the fight against climate transformation, whichever way the politics winds in Washington may shift.

In Environment of Hope, Bloomberg and Pope offer a good look at the challenge of climate change, the solutions they believe contain the biggest promise, as well as the useful steps that are essential to attain them. Writing from their own experiences, and writing their very own stories from authorities, business, and advocacy, Bloomberg and Pope provide a street map for tackling the most complicated challenge the world has ever confronted. On the way, they turn the usual way of thinking about climate change on its head: from best down to bottom level up, from partisan to pragmatic, from costs to benefits, from tomorrow to today, and from fear to hope.
