Climate at the Crossroads: Choosing our Planet's Future

William Drew Collins (Director Environmental Resilience Accelerator, Climate & Ecosystem Sciences Division, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory)

Climate change has become a very hot topic, both literally and figuratively, for our generation and for many generations to come. Climate scientists are increasingly confident of its causes, and we are increasingly concerned regarding the dire implications of `business as usual' for the future of society and our natural surroundings. Fortunately the scientific community is also confident that a united global community can solve this problem using existing technologies and, in so doing, improve the quality, equity, and environmental harmony of people's lives worldwide. Possible paths forward could help attain many of the UN's Sustainability Goals.
