According to the IPCC, humanity has roughly 1000 days in which global greenhouse gas emissions must peak in order for them to be halved by 2030. As EU vice-president Frans Timmermans said at COP26 last year: "If we fail [my one-year-old grandson] will fight with other human beings for water and food. That’s the stark reality we face. So 1.5C is about avoiding a future for our children and grandchildren that is unliveable." What is to be done?

In The Big Switch, Australian clean technology engineer Saul Griffith lays out a detailed plan for de-carbonising our economy. You can learn more about Saul and his plan here and here. The Bar Book Club will meet to discuss it on Wednesday, 3 August at 5.30pm in the boardroom of Level 22 Chambers, 52 Martin Place.
