LIFE AFTER CARBON The Next Global Transformation of Cities

Moving from place to place, this audiobook introduces listeners to the numerous ways cities across the world are taking on the effects of climate change. Narrator Timothy Andrés Pabon's voice has the lightest raspiness to it, but when coupled with his deliberate and awe-filled tone, it draws in listeners, helping them see the wonder in the numerous projects the authors are discussing. Despite the U.S. rejection of the Paris Agreement on climate change, our nation has cities that are at the forefront of climate change and have been for years. The authors highlight some of the ways that places like Boston and Austin, as well as Rotterdam, Cape Town, and Beijing, are tackling the big problems of energy, waste reduction, ocean flooding, and more.
