The Impending Hot Season and How Nature Can Help Us Prevent It

- Shows the consequences of a global warming of +3°C
- Demonstrates that we still have it in our hands to ensure that global warming is limited to at least +2°C
- Details the plan of what politically feasible, cost-effective measures should now be taken
- This book is open access, which means that you have free and unlimited access

This open access book describes in detail what life on this planet would be like if its average surface temperature were to rise 3 degrees Celsius above the preindustrial level. On this basis, the book argues that it is imperative to keep this temperature rise below 2 degrees Celsius. It then lays out a detailed plan of what politically feasible, cost-effective measures should now be taken to achieve this goal. In this context, the book provides detailed discussions of climate finance, climate education and nature-based solutions. The book has been translated into English from the original German version published in 2022, and contains an original foreword and preface.
