– Eva Woo, VP, The Ontopology Initiative

“Dr. Koomey has made a career of being right when almost everyone else was wrong. He and co-author Ian Monroe get it right by taking a complex subject and describing it accurately in simple terms that do not mislead. This book accomplishes this mission in several ways: describing the nature of the climate problem by framing the question better than most everyone else, setting science-sensitive goals for good reasons (that are articulated explicitly), explaining the unique consequences of dealing with a problem that is cumulative, emphasizing the interactive aspects of solutions that are self-reinforcing, and identifying the true impediments to actually solving the problem. If you are new to the climate issue, this book is a great way to learn the right answers. And if you have been studying it for your whole career, it provides a thoughtful way to organize and enhance what you already know.”
– Dr. David Goldstein, MacArthur Fellow and Energy Program Co-Director, Natural Resources Defense Council

"Want some good climate news? Solving climate change might be easier than we think! This enjoyable-to-read book is a welcome dose of optimism paired with details, realism and the absolute urgency required to build a cleaner, better future."
– Allison Archambault, President EarthSpark International

“This is ‘The Climate Nerd’s Guide to the Policy.’ Don’t panic! Do take this book of recipes and apply them. Use the frameworks and ideas to invent new policies and programs. Koomey and Monroe have written the manual for designing and deploying meaningful solutions to our global climate crisis.”
– Bruce Biewald, Founder & CEO, Synapse Energy Economics; Lecturer, Tufts University

“It’s all here: the science, the politics, the action plan. If you want to save the world, read this book.”
– Dr. Benjamin Franta, Senior Research Fellow and Head of the Climate Litigation Lab, Oxford Sustainable Law Programme

“Solving Climate Change is the much-needed, detailed systems map to guide the work of climate-change change-agents. Focusing on a Net Zero target date of 2040, Koomey and Monroe clearly lay out the necessary elements for decarbonization, from electrifying everything to elevating the truth. As a systems map, the book reveals dozens of ripe Meadows intervention points, from shifting incentives to changing paradigms. Above all, their message is that learning by doing requires doing, starting today. The book invites us each to select from the map our own most powerful lever and join together in moving the earth.” 
– Dr. Eban Goodstein, Director, MBA in Sustainability, Bard College

“Think climate change is hopeless?  Solving Climate Change makes clear that it’s not. This deeply researched, clearly written, and imaginative book lays out what we can and must do to solve our generation’s greatest challenge.”

“Solving Climate Change is a tour de force that reflects the unique expertise of Koomey and Monroe, who make clear the imperatives for climate action and the landscapes of opportunity for those seeking paths to impact. Their work is illuminating, inspiring, and instructive.”
– Holmes Hummel, PhD, Founder of Clean Energy Works, and Resident Fellow at Explore Energy House, Stanford University

“Solving Climate Change offers an irresistible front story: that halting climate change is fundamentally doable, however difficult and daunting it may seem. But what I most appreciate about this book is its inclusion of climate’s back story, in compelling narrative and visual form. The authors clarify, inform, and break into manageable chunks -- without dumbing down -- one of the most vitally important stories in the history of humanity. Their book is also extensively and beautifully sourced, serving as an annotated entrée to decades of climate science and policy research that have culminated at the deeply urgent present in which we find ourselves. We haven’t a moment to waste, and this book calls us to comprehensive, creative, vital action.”
– Chris Calwell, Ecos Research

“Koomey and Monroe speak blunt truths in this urgently needed book. We have lied to ourselves about net-zero 2050 and must move faster. We are working against fossil interests who actively corrupt legislative efforts, the tax code, building regulations and appliance standards. On the ground we need to recognize the retirement of every machine that burns fossil fuels as an opportunity to replace it with a cleanly powered (probably) electric machine as soon as possible. It's all about scale at this point and getting solutions deployed in the real world. It is no longer enough to be a technologist. One must design and implement solutions at scale and against the headwinds of interests that would slow down our efforts to get to zero emissions. I thank Koomey and Monroe for this important book and its call to action - against all odds and at scale.”
– Saul Griffith, Founder, Rewiring America, Rewiring Australia, and Otherlab; MacArthur Fellow

“Koomey and Monroe bring deep expertise and fresh perspectives to tackling the climate crisis. While not minimizing the scale of the challenge, their work paints an optimistic and compelling path forwards towards a climate positive future.”
– Scott Loarie, Co-director, iNaturalist

“Drawing on decades of experience in researching and teaching climate solutions, this book offers an insightful and practical guide to the daunting task that confronts us: To end fossil fuels in less than two decades.”
– Bård Lahn, Researcher at CICERO Center for International Climate Research, Oslo, Norway

“Solving Climate Change: A Guide for Learners & Leaders is just the reference I’ve needed for teaching “greenhouse gas mitigation” to undergraduates at WWU and, earlier, graduate students at Stanford. With accessible language and clear graphics, it illustrates “tools of the trade” to identify and analyze feasible emission reduction measures, programs and scenarios, cutting across all the key sectors of the energy economy and their related technologies and policy tools.”
–Professor Joel Swisher, Director, Institute for Energy Studies, Western Washington University

“As a long-time teacher of these issues for classes attended both by practitioners and graduate students, I can happily say that Solving Climate Change is the comprehensive reference for which I and they have been waiting. But its appeal extends well beyond the classroom, and it will help and inspire all who are committed to suspending humanity’s uniquely dangerous experiment with the earth’s climate.”
– Ralph Cavanagh, Energy Program Co-Director, Natural Resources Defense Council

“This book is the definitive guide to fighting the battle against climate destruction.”
– Dr. Florentin Krause, Director, International Project for Sustainable Energy Paths

"If you struggle with IPCC's long reports, are not satisfied with the sensational news on climate change, and still want to catch up with the latest thoughts, insights, and solutions, this book is for you. I have been teaching energy and climate change for years, and I always find Dr. Koomey's books to be good resources for students. This book adds one more to my list of recommended texts.”
– Dr. Gang He, Department of Technology and Society, Stony Brook University
