New book: Climatopolis: How our cities will thrive in the Hotter Future

Matthew E. Kahn, professor at the UCLA Institute of the Environment, says that we have released the genie from the bottle: climate change is coming, and there’s no stopping it. The question, according to Kahn, is not how we’re going to avoid a hotter future but how we’re going to adapt to it. In Climatopolis, Kahn argues that cities and regions will adapt to rising temperatures over time, slowly transforming our everyday lives as we change our behaviors and our surroundings. Taking the reader on a tour of the world’s cities – from New York to Beijing to Mumbai – Kahn’s presents a positive yet realistic picture of our urban future.
