Sink or Swim

Fisher brilliantly outlines how climate adaptation must happen with people, not for people. A crucial roadmap for turning climate paralysis into determined action, where it counts the most. * Christiana Figueres, author of The Future We Choose and former executive secretary of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change *‘If you only read one book about climate adaptation, Sink or Swim should be it. Susannah Fisher takes us to the heart of the hard choices we now face about how to adapt to climate crisis, from managing people on the move, to how we grow food, sustain nature and avoid conflict. An impassioned but grounded and highly accessible account of the science, politics and ethics of trying to protect life on a rapidly warming planet.’ * Peter Newell, author of Power Shift *
