The climate crisis is a pressing issue that requires immediate action if our planet is to survive. Cities around the world, including Los Angeles, New York, Toronto, Oslo, Shenzhen, and Sydney, are leading the way in taking small but significant steps to reduce their carbon footprint. In his book "Solved: How the World's Great Cities Are Fixing the Climate Crisis," David Miller argues that cities are taking action on climate change because they can and because they must. Miller makes a compelling case that if replicated at pace and scale, the actions of leading global cities can help create a more sustainable planet. "Solved" demonstrates that the initiatives cities have taken to control the climate crisis can make a real difference in reducing global emissions if implemented worldwide. By chronicling the stories of how cities have taken action to meet and exceed emissions targets laid out in the Paris Agreement, Miller empowers readers to fix the climate crisis. As much a how-to guide for policymakers as a work for concerned citizens, "Solved" aims to inspire hope through its clear and factual analysis of what can be done – now, today – to mitigate our harmful emissions and pave the way to a 1.5-degree world.
