A radically new understanding of and practical approach to climate change by noted environmentalist Paul Hawken, creator of the New York Times bestseller DrawdownRegeneration offers a visionary new approach to climate change, one that weaves justice, climate, biodiversity, equity, and human dignity into a seamless tapestry of action, policy, and transformation that can end the climate crisis in one generation. It is the first book to describe and define the burgeoning regeneration movement spreading rapidly throughout the world. Regeneration describes how an inclusive movement can engage the majority of humanity to save the world from the threat of global warming, with climate solutions that directly serve our children, the poor, and the excluded. This means we must address current human needs, not future existential threats, real as they are, with initiatives that include but go well beyond solar, electric vehicles, and tree planting to include such solutions as the fifteen-minute city, bioregions, azolla fern, food localization, fire ecology, decommodification, forests as farms, and the number one solution for the world: electrifying everything. Paul Hawken and the nonprofit Regeneration Organization are launching a series of initiatives to accompany the book, including a streaming video series, curriculum, podcasts, teaching videos, and climate action software. Regeneration is the inspiring and necessary guide to inform the rapidly spreading climate movement.

Regeneration: Ending the Climate Crisis in One Generation by Paul Hawken is a comprehensive and inspiring guide to addressing the climate crisis. Hawken argues that we can reverse climate change and create a sustainable future by regenerating our ecosystems, our economies, and our societies.

Hawken begins by outlining the scale of the climate crisis, explaining the science behind climate change and the devastating impacts it is already having on our planet. He then offers a vision of a regenerative future, where we live in harmony with nature and create a sustainable world for future generations.

The book is divided into four parts, each of which focuses on a different aspect of regeneration. In the first part, Hawken explores the importance of regenerating our ecosystems. He discusses the role of forests, oceans, and other ecosystems in absorbing carbon dioxide and providing other essential services for life on Earth. He also highlights the importance of protecting biodiversity and restoring degraded ecosystems.

In the second part of the book, Hawken turns his attention to regenerating our economies. He argues that we need to move away from a fossil fuel-based economy and create a new economy that is based on renewable energy and sustainable practices. He discusses the need for businesses to adopt circular economy principles and for governments to invest in green infrastructure and renewable energy.

In the third part of the book, Hawken explores the importance of regenerating our societies. He argues that we need to change the way we think about the world and our place in it. He calls for a new ethic of care and compassion, and for a renewed focus on community and cooperation. He also highlights the importance of education and empowerment, and the need to create a more just and equitable world.

In the fourth and final part of the book, Hawken provides a roadmap for achieving a regenerative future. He discusses the need for a global movement for change and the importance of individual action. He also offers a number of specific recommendations for what we can all do to help create a more sustainable world.

Regeneration is a powerful and inspiring book that offers a roadmap for addressing the climate crisis. Hawken's vision of a regenerative future is both ambitious and achievable, and his book provides a wealth of information and inspiration to help us get there.
