In an op-ed for The Boston Globe‘s weekend magazine, Alan Weisman shares a half dozen projects from around the world that give him hope for humanity’s capacity to confront and survive climate change. Alan has spent the last six years seeking out “ingenious, inspiring, visionary people—engineers, scientists, farmers, architects, Indigenous elders, Gen Z futurists, even the military—determined to find us a viable future.”
He reports on what he found in his latest book, Hope Dies Last, which was published on April 22 by Dutton. The examples he cites in his op-ed include a wide-ranging national sustainability plan in the Netherlands, solar WiFi micro-networks in Bangladesh, fusion-powered power plants in Massachusetts, and promising efforts to restore vital marshlands in what is thought to be the original Garden of Eden.
