Humanity ’ s Moment
A Climate Scientist ’ s Case for Hope Joëlle Gergis
A personal call to action from an Australian IPCC author
When climate scientist Joëlle Gergis set to work on the United Nations ’ Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change ( IPCC ) Sixth Assessment Report , the research she encountered kept her up at night . Through countless hours spent with the world ’ s top scientists to piece together the latest global assessment of climate change , she realised that the impacts were occurring faster than anyone had predicted .
In Humanity ’ s Moment , Joëlle takes us through the science in the IPCC report with unflinching honesty , explaining what it means for our future , while sharing her personal reflections on bearing witness to the heartbreak of the climate emergency unfolding in real time . But this is not a lament for a lost world . It is an inspiring reminder that human history is an endless tug-of-war for social justice . We are each a part of an eternal evolutionary force that can transform our world .
Joëlle shows us that the solutions we need to live sustainably already exist - we just need the social movement and political will to create a better world . This book is a climate scientist ’ s guide to rekindling hope , and a call to action to restore our relationship with ourselves , each other and our planet .
DR JOËLLE GERGIS is an award-winning climate scientist and writer at the Australian National University . She served as a lead author for the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report and is the author of Sunburnt Country : The History and Future of Climate Change in Australia .
