The crisis of global warming transcends environmental concerns; it affects our societies by altering economies, deepening inequalities, provoking conflicts, and causing mass migrations. In "The Impending Global Warming: A Societal Perspective," three experts highlight that climate change is a human crisis linked to political, cultural, and economic systems, raising critical questions about the burden on vulnerable populations and the challenges facing cities and democracies. The book offers guidance rather than despair, proposing solutions from grassroots movements to global governance, emphasizing the need for collective action. It calls on all individuals to understand and respond to the societal dimensions of climate change, underscoring that while the diagnosis is scientific, the solutions lie within society and require immediate action.
