"Joelle Gergis’ Humanity’s Moment is clear-eyed, wounded, humane and above all, honest. Not many books feel necessary, but here’s one that qualifies."
The Sydney Morning Herald
"In Humanity’s Moment, Joëlle Gergis, a leading climate scientist and gifted author, manages to unpack the science behind the climate crisis in a way that is authoritative, gripping, and very personal. Read her engaging, first-hand account of the latest UN climate report to have both hope and inspiration as we tackle the greatest challenge we have faced as a species."
