Reviews"Even if the world does all it can to reduce emissions, the need for much greater resilience in response to the impacts of climate change grows more urgent every day. In this timely and important book, Alice Hill has written a straight-forward, readable guide to help governments, businesses, and communities take action." -- Todd Stern, former US Special Envoy for Climate Change "Alice Hill offers a new path in a debate currently dominated by false choices. We must mitigate and adapt to address climate change. Blending personal stories with policy discussions, she offers insights and ideas that are forward-looking, creative, and practical. Anyone interested in the future of our climate, our cities, and our country should read this book." -- Francis X. Suarez, Mayor of Miami "The Fight for Climate after COVID-19 offers a deeply researched glimpse of future disasters and a pragmatic assessment of how to prepare for them." -- Sheldon Whitehouse, US Senator, Rhode Island, Even if the world does all it can to reduce emissions, the need for much greater resilience in response to the impacts of climate change grows more urgent every day. In this timely and important book, Alice Hill has written a straight-forward, readable guide to help governments, businesses, and communities take action.

SynopsisCOVID-19 exposed the world's failure to prepare for the worst -- can we learn to build back better?The COVID-19 pandemic has hit our world on a scale beyond living memory, taking millions of lives and leading to a lockdown of communities worldwide. A pandemic, much like climate change, acts as a threat multiplier, increasing vulnerability to harm, economic impoverishment, and the breakdown of social systems. Even more concerning, communities severely impacted by the coronavirus still remain vulnerable to other types of hazards, such as those brought by accelerating climate change. The catastrophic risks of pandemics and climate change carry deep uncertainty as to when they will occur, how they will unfold, and how much damage they will do. The most important question is how we can face these risks to minimize them most.The Fight for Climate after COVID-19 draws on the troubled and uneven COVID-19 experience to illustrate the critical need to ramp up resilience rapidly and effectively on a global scale. After years of working alongside public health and resilience experts crafting policy to build both pandemic and climate change preparedness, Alice C. Hill exposes parallels between the underutilized measures that governments should have taken to contain the spread of COVID-19 -- such as early action, cross-border planning, and bolstering emergency preparation -- and the steps leaders can take now to mitigate the impacts of climate change. Through practical analyses of current policy and thoughtful guidance for successful climate adaptation, The Fight for Climate after COVID-19 reveals that, just as our society has transformed itself to meet the challenge of coronavirus, so too will we need to adapt our thinking and our policies to combat the ever-increasing threat of climate change.Unapologetic and clear-eyed, The Fight for Climate after COVID-19 helps us understand why the time has come to prepare for the world as it will be, rather than as it once was., COVID-19 exposed the world's failure to prepare for the worst -- can we learn to build back better?

The Fight for Climate after COVID-19 uses the lessons of 2020 to argue, unequivocally, why the time to scale up resilience to the mounting effects of climate change is now.
