Rob Hopkins

Rob Hopkins is a British environmentalist, author, and activist who is the co-founder of the Transition Network and the Transition Towns movement — one of the most significant grassroots environmental movements of the twenty-first century. From What Is to What If: Unleashing the Power of Imagination to Create the Future We Want argues that the greatest crisis we face is not climate change itself but a failure of imagination — an inability to envision alternatives to the way we live now. The book draws on Hopkins's experience building the Transition movement and makes a passionate case for rekindling collective imagination. His audiobooks and books offer listeners and readers inspiring, practical environmentalism that starts not with despair but with imagination — books about the futures we could build if we dared to dream.
