Our climate is changing, and the future sounds scary. But did you know that scientists all over the world are inventing brilliant new ways to solve the problem?

The good news is that we don’t need to go on burning fossil fuels. We can get all our energy without using any oil, coal or natural gas and power everything with renewable energy. We’re already charming it out of the wind, the sun, the tides and the earth itself. We can help nature to store carbon too, keeping it out of the air and in the plants and soil where it belongs.

This book illustrates some of the many new jobs to help make the change. You might love exciting outdoor adventures, or are good at solving puzzles, or designing and inventing things. Or you might be fascinated by big, powerful machines, or the world of farms, forests and the sea. Whatever kind of person you are, you’ll find a job in this book that YOU can do, and that will stop the Earth getting hotter.
