We can only do one thing: create more life. Othering nature, oceans, Indigenous cultures, and women is the cause of the crisis. It separates climate as if it were distinct from humanity and nature. Third, fighting or tackling climate is “othering” language. If it did not we would not have seasons, olives, risotto, and strawberries. How can you tackle something that does not exist? Second, the climate is supposed to change. It is the dynamic between warmer air and changing ocean currents due to heating. You can’t fight climate change for several reasons. What does regeneration offer compared to more combative language usually associated with climate action such as tackling, fighting or mitigating?Ĭombative language is absurd and unscientific. Yes, there are solutions but they are within the context and principles of regeneration. It is focused on a framework of understanding that makes sense of what is happening on Earth today and what we can do about it. Regeneration is not focused on solutions. How is the concept of regeneration central to this? In contrast, Regeneration: Ending the Climate Crisis in One Generation conveys a strong message of hope. Many people feel like the climate crisis is an insurmountable issue. “We are in an era where the concept of global warming and the impacts of human desecration of living systems is becoming experiential, and when that happens, people wake up.”
In a delicate balance of realism and optimism, Hawken recognizes not only humanity’s capacity for destruction but also its unique ability to be creative and constructive. Regeneration: Ending the Climate Crisis in a Generation, by acclaimed author and environmental activist Paul Hawken, provides a framework for truly understanding the world around us and the ongoing climate crisis whilst steering away from the complicated jargon that has alienated people from the science. The backbone of any planetary regeneration strategy involves tackling ignorance and apathy whilst demonstrating the power of action and showing how life itself can be put at the center of every decision we take.
