About the Book

In this book, Luisa Neubauer, the best-known German climate activist, and the sociologist Alexander Repenning create the history of our future. For humankind is at a crossroads. If we don't change course now, we’ll eliminate ourselves. Politicians, entrepreneurs, citizens, everyone must take action. But how? One thing is undisputed: There is no Planet B. Everyone must inform and organize oneself to save the future. In "Beginning to End the Climate Crisis" Neubauer and Repenning present solutions that are ready to be implemented and must finally be put into practice.
