Charlie Gardner, a climate scientist based in King's Lynn, has published 'What One Person Can Do: Why a climate scientist still has hope', a 337-page book offering practical suggestions for individuals to address the climate crisis.

The book emphasises that people are more than consumers and can shift how things are done by actively participating in civic and political life. Gardner writes that potential action is not confined to domestic choices but extends to workplaces and communities. He presents possibilities on a spectrum from personal well-being through to changing systems of economy, politics and law.

Gardner avoids preaching a single solution or inducing guilt. Instead, he recognises complexity while describing practical ways individuals can contribute. The book begins with empowering oneself but warns against becoming so focused on personal development that one neglects shaping the world around them. Gardner encourages people to express anger and fear as normal emotions rather than suppress them.
