What If We Get It Right
Ayana Elizabeth Johnson
At Rare, we believe that action is the antidote to climate change, and we are not alone. What If We Get It Right? Visions of Climate Futures is an audaciously bold and hopeful book by marine biologist and co-founder of the Urban Ocean Lab, Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson.
Throughout the book, Dr. Johnson asks twenty experts across myriad fields what “getting it right” on climate looks like for them. She explores topics from food to energy to entertainment through a series of essays that shows us that accepting defeat when it comes to climate is not acceptable. Everyone has a role to play, and if we all step up to the challenges, then we may just get it right.
Why we love it: In What If We Get It Right, Dr. Johnson tackles the current narratives of climate doomism and defeatism by daring the reader to imagine what the world would be like if we solved climate change. Dr. Johnson’s book shows us that all the solutions we need to take real, lasting action on climate are right at our fingertips – all we need now is to get everyone on board.
