Hannah Ritchie’s new book, “Clearing the Air”, is out now in the US and Canada

Hannah Richie, our Deputy Editor and Science Outreach Lead, published her first book, Not the End of the World, in 2024. It tackled seven of the world’s big environmental problems — climate change was just one of them.

Since that book came out, Hannah realized that people had a lot more questions about how we tackle climate change than she covered in that one chapter.

This led her to write her new book, Clearing the Air. It’s all about how we tackle climate change: covering everything from renewable energy and nuclear power to electric vehicles, heat pumps, minerals, carbon capture, and geoengineering.
