Transformative Adaptation (TrAd) is adaptation that works with, not against nature. It reduces greenhouse gas emissions in the same breath as it guards us against the impacts of those emissions.\u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe are out of the safe zone. \u003ci\u003eTransformative Adaptation\u003c\/i\u003e (TrAd) helps us to transform our civilization to be in readiness for the future and makes life worth living. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eImpacts beyond 1.5oC, the agreed maximum limit-target for global overheating, are already here. In this context, adaptation, preparedness and resilience-building are no longer optional. They become central, pivotal to whether we survive, let alone flourish. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe struggle to define adaptation will be the defining struggle of the coming decade. TrAd is adaptation that works with, not against nature. It reduces greenhouse gas emissions in the same breath as it guards us against the impacts of those emissions. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book sets out TrAd as a theory and a practice, a community and an attitude. Creating a flourishing future even in the jaws of adversity requires us first to imagine it together. Thrutopias are TrAd boldly and concretely imagined. Thrutopian stories show how we can get through by adapting to what is coming at us by transforming our systems. This book unpacks the theory of thrutopias and offers existing practical examples. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eTransformative Adaptation\u003c\/i\u003e is the quintessential idea whose time has come.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRupert Read\u003c\/b\u003e is co-director of the Climate Majority Project and Emeritus Professor of Philosophy at the University of East Anglia, UK.
