Homelands co-founder Alan Weisman has won a Climate Innovation Award from the Climate Change Leadership Institute. CCLI Executive Director Robb Hirsch issued the following announcement:
“In his recent book Hope Dies Last, Alan states the dire facts of our climate emergency while focusing on the incredible promise of visionary people & revolutionary ideas! Some are out of the box thinking; others are proven pathways swiftly rising and/or transforming the status quo. Whether growing mangroves or offshore sustainable cities; budding techniques like Pivot Bio helping avoid nitrous oxide emissions from toxic fertilizers or vastly populating climate refugee camps bunny hopping industrialization by using distributed solar, electric scooters & mobile lap tops—we have vast opportunities to prevail over the climate crisis if only we seize the day!”
CCLI describes itself as “a New Mexico based nonprofit organization helping lead and generate America’s next great revolution for sustainable development, pollution-free energy and climate stewardship.”
Hope Dies Last was published by Dutton on Earth Day 2025.
