Find solutions for climate change and how to create system change
Scroll down to find out more
Welcome
I had been concerned about the impact of climate change for many years. While working as a crisis and emergency management advisor, I decided to write a book called Climate Crisis Plan. The purpose of the book and this website is to provide information and resources that will empower and encourage people all over the world to take action on climate change. So that one day soon, there will be an overwhelming momentum for emissions reductions.
There are many guides listed below on how to reduce emissions and create positive system change which can be downloaded for free. More content will be added frequently and I will give examples of where I have taken action myself, had setbacks and successes. Best wishes,
Philip Kent-Hughes

2023 OCTOBER
October 13th - International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction
The theme for this year highlights the connection between disasters and inequality. Disasters and inequality are two sides of the same coin. Each adversity reinforces the other: unequal access to services leaves the most vulnerable exposed to the danger of disasters; while the effects of disasters exacerbate inequalities and push the most at risk further into poverty.
About 75% of extreme weather events are currently connected to climate change, fueled by carbon emissions (Climate Adaptation Platform, 2022). By 2030, with current climate projections, the world will face some 560 disasters per year (UNDRR, 2022)

Review: Booklife by Publishers Weekly - November 14, 2022
In this hands-on, encouraging book, Kent-Hughes describes how individuals and organizations can take action to make meaningful progress toward solving the climate crisis. He starts by outlining the severity of the problem, but he doesn’t dwell on doom— instead he offers positive examples showing that when people take action, real change can occur.
When it comes to solutions, Kent-Hughes offers suggestions that are achievable for most people, which is important in an overtaxing world where everyone is already overwhelmed.
Sections detailing what he personally has done to change his lifestyle demonstrate that making a difference doesn’t require perfection or grand gestures. Takeaway: An encouraging action plan for individuals and organizations in the face of the climate crisis.
