Paperback. How Americans can take action in their own communities and unite across the political spectrum in pursuit of solutions to climate change.How Americans can take action in their own communities and unite across the political spectrum in pursuit of solutions to climate change.Andreas Karelas has a message we don't often hear: we have all the tools we need to solve the climate crisis and doing so will improve our lives, our economy, and our society.But to engage people in the climate fight, we need stories that are empowering, inclusive, and solutions-oriented, not based in fear. Karelas digs into the latest data on the rapidly falling costs and increased efficiencies of clean energy technologies compared to fossil fuels, looks at the rate of job creation in the clean energy sector, and introduces the reader to the inspiring work of climate heroes on both sides of the aisle-from Republican mayors and governors to activists, from businesses to faith communities.Climate Courage shows us how we can move past our collective inaction on climate change and work together in our communities to create a more sustainable, just, clean energy-powered economy that works for everyone. ""Climate Courage" shows Americans that we can find common ground on solutions to climate change across the political divide through our shared American values"-- Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Andreas Karelas brings an optimistic message that we don't often hear about: we have all the tools we need to solve the climate crisis and we're already building momentum. Climate Courage recognizes that people, not politics, are the agents of change that can create a more sustainable, equitable economy. But to engage people in climate solutions, we need a new way of framing the problem that's empowering rather than fear based. We can move past our collective despair and inaction if we work together in our communities towards a better vision of the future based on shared American values.
Climate Courage highlights the bright spots in the climate fight and the stories of people of various political stripes finding common ground. Emphasizing the rate of job creation in the clean energy economy and the work of climate heroes on both sides of the aisle--including Republican mayors and governors, the military, faith communities, businesses, and community groups--Karelas shows us that climate solutions need not be polarizing. Americans from all walks of life will find inspiration and insights to build trust and heal the divide between red and blue America by connecting with each other and rediscovering the importance of gratitude, simplicity, and service in living fulfilling, meaningful lives.
