From fatal summer heat waves and flooded cities to cruel droughts and devastation of crops - climate change is the greatest disruptor of our time, and it can no longer be ignored. For most of us, however, the issue is so large and variously approached that solutions seem out of reach. This is where climate change activist and value investor Mridula Ramesh steps in, examining the intimate dynamics of how the change in weather patterns threatens India, clarifying doubts and offering solutions to combat the imminent threat at individual and policy levels. In this meticulously researched and lucidly written book, she emphasizes that the situation may be grim but it is not without hope. From the green fields of Punjab to the thriving eco start-ups in the water-starved city of Bengaluru, the forest planted by one man in Assam to the johads of Rajasthan, innumerable pockets of climate warriors have used ingenuity and initiative to adapt to - and sometimes reverse - the changing conditions. Through their stories - and others in India and across the world - she discusses the myriad facets of this raging issue: how women are peculiarly affected by a warming climate; how climate change poses a security threat to the Indian state; why solar power may not be the solution for India; and how businesses can combat climate change without compromising growth. Timely, urgent, and thought-provoking, this book is an urgent call to action - and an essential read for every person invested in changing the story of our future on earth and preparing for a better one
