WINNER OF THE SHAUGHNESSY COHEN PRIZE FOR POLITICAL WRITING
“The climate debate is inherently pessimistic, and while Chris
Turner doesn’t pretend that crafting policy to slow global warming
is easy, he presents a compelling argument: gloom and doom is not
an effective strategy. How to Be a Climate Optimist is a self-help
guide for the planet and a masterclass in brisk, vivid
storytelling. Turner gives us a crisp, upbeat tour d’horizon of
gee-whiz innovation coupled with a strongly argued case that
we—politicians, voters and citizens—just need the will to reach for
the solutions taking shape before our eyes.” —2023 Shaughnessy
