Not the End of the World

This “truly essential” audiobook will transform how you see our biggest environmental problems (Margaret Atwood)—and explains how we can solve them.

• “Ecopragmatism at its best shines throughout this book... The surprising message in the data is that human civilization is far along toward solving planetary problems. Hannah Ritchie shows how building on the successful trends can finish the job.”
  Stewart Brand, founder of Whole Earth Catalog and author of Whole Earth Discipline
• “Such a clear-eyed view of the state we're in, giving a sharp picture of the challenges ahead, and an inspiring vision of the problems we've already solved. Everyone who reads it will learn a lot – I did.”
  Tim Harford, author of How to Make the World Add Up
• “A refreshingly upbeat guide to achieving sustainability. Ritchie attacks cynicism, doomerism and apathy with a barrage of data revealing the extent of our progress and illuminating the best paths ahead.”
  Gaia Vince, author of Nomad Century
• “Data is a superpower. Let Hannah Ritchie show you the world as it really is. Then go out and change it for the better.”
  Mark Lynas, author of Six Degrees
• “An unmissable myth-busting book to save our planet— read it.”
  Tim Spector, author of Food For Life
• "An inspiring data-mine which gives us not only real guidance, but the most necessary ingredient of all: hope . . . truly essential"
  Margaret Atwood, TED2023
• "I find it hard to express how much I love this book. Hannah Ritchie brilliantly picks up where Hans Rosling left off. Her book shines with practicality and positivity. It will banish your feelings of doom, help you focus on what’s really important, and make you want to be a part of the most effective solutions to our greatest challenges. Let's get this book into the hands of as many policy makers, politicians and fellow citizens as possible."
  Rutger Bregman, author of Humankind
