We have almost all the technology required to combat the climate crisis. And most people agree they want to see more action. But, after three decades of climate COPs, our global emissions are worse than ever.

What, exactly, has been holding us back?

In the search for answers Mike Berners-Lee looks at the challenge from new angles. He stands further back to gain perspective; he digs deeper to see the root causes; he joins up every element of the challenge; and he learns lessons from our failures of the past.  His inspiring new book A Climate of Truth spells out why, if humanity is to thrive in the decades ahead, the most critical step is to raise standards of honesty in our politics, our media, and our businesses.

Anyone asking, ‘How can I have impact when everything so far has seemed so futile?’ will find inspiration in this practical and essential book.
