From the Resilience Community

“How do you apply and retain a positive worldview in the midst of a pandemic and climate crises? How do you remain sane, present, hopeful and committed when facing evolving, multidimensional existential threats?

Having a Plan for Turbulent Future enables us to consciously embrace the challenges, work to process feelings and disaster related triggers by focusing on actual needs and our ability to contribute by meeting them. Working with disaster affected communities across he globe I have witnessed to the presence of hope, strength and opportunity for personal contribution, learning and growth in every calamity and welcome the author’s practical take on how to translate vulnerability into personal strength and resilience.” Rut Erdelyi, Resilience Advisors Network

 

“Charron pulls the wool from our eyes in this brilliant guide to building personal resilience. With a refreshing amount of honesty and candour often lacking in climate change discussion, Charron encourages readers to positively rethink attitudes towards the planet, personal goals and relationships. This book aims to provide clarity to individuals navigating the ecological emergency, recommending pragmatic ways to implement a variety of resilience practices. A brilliant and inspiring read!” Jaz Fryer-Jones, The Resilience Project (UK)

From Other Environmental Book Authors

“In Plan for a Turbulent Future, Remi Charron takes the Climate Change discussion to the next level.

Thirty years ago, scientists said that if we keep going as we were, increasing CO2 in the atmosphere will cause problems.  For the last ten years, the news of droughts, fires and floods have been described as likely being more severe as a result of the increasing CO2.

Charron starts out by acknowledging that Climate Change is happening now.  In very readable prose, he describes how he came to realize the challenge and the changes that he and his family made as a result.  He then goes on to explain a broad array of actions we might take to build resilience for ourselves, our families and our communities in preparation for the oncoming future.” Mike Nickerson, author of Planning for Seven Generations: Guideposts for a Sustainable Future and Life, Money and Illusion: Living on Earth as if we Want to Stay

“The word resilience has become part of the everyday language that concerns the consequences of risks related to climate in our ever-changing world.  However, the process for people to become more resilient when faced with such risks is rarely described at a personal level.  Remi Charron does exactly this in his Plan for a Turbulent Future as he offers a practical step-by-step guide to building resilience as an individual, a family member, a community member and a global citizen.  Drawing upon vast experience as an engineer and researcher, he outlines a systematic framework in accessible and personal language that make the Plan for a Turbulent Future a valuable and enjoyable read.” Patricia Keen, author of Antimicrobial Resistance in the Environment 

 

“Fed up with false promises that government planning and green energy will keep climate change at bay? Remi Charron’s book is the read for you: the world will not meet its Paris emissions reduction targets; humanity is in ecological overshoot; potentially catastrophic climate change is the future. No need to feel helpless—Charron provides a valuable manual on how you and yours can face reality and navigate a chaotic future.” William Rees, originator and co-developer of the 'ecological footprint analysis', published in Our Ecological Footprint: Reducing Human Impact on the Earth
