World Without End is a testament to the power of the graphic novel and a singular work of environmental activism. Through its whip-smart designs, accessible research, and fearless commentary, this book invites readers of all backgrounds to join the climate change conversation-and demands that they feel anything but ambivalence. Masterful and unforgettable
Marjane Satrapi, author of Persepolis
Can a graphic novel save the planet? Perhaps. World Without End is sharp, funny, and heart-stoppingly honest
Elizabeth Kolbert, Pulitzer Prize-winning author of The Sixth Extinction
When it comes to the climate crisis, most of us know what we think, but we also understand that we don't know enough. In World Without End, Jancovici pulls no punches about how dire things have become, but Blain also keeps humor ever present, and it is welcome. This book, which covers so much material, is extremely readable and enjoyable, and a testament to the talent of the author and artist behind it. They know that a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, and that while we all want to know more about the current state of things, we need a place to start. For many people, this will be it
Kate Beaton, New York Times bestselling author of Ducks: Two Years in the Oil Sands

Eliza Griswold, Pulitzer Prize–winning journalist
An illuminating and original approach to understanding climate change
FT - What to Read in 2024
A word of mouth sensation… book whose alternative title might be: Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Climate Change But Were Too Afraid to Ask … Jancovici [provides] the facts and clever concepts, and Blain the angst, the jokes and the occasional superhero … This is vital reading: every maison should have one
Rachel Cooke, Observer
A frenetic and funny take on global warming … World Without End is no ordinary climate science book … When it comes to understanding the crisis we face, boy, is this a powerful book of cartoons
New Scientist
One of the most brilliant summaries of climate issues that has ever been written... rigorous, realistic and lucid
Huffington Post (France)
This perfect duo explain ecological issues without an ounce of dogmatism... It is a far cry from the ideologues who, by dint of telling us that everything is screwed up, encourage more inaction or contrition than action. Jancovici does not pretend that we can fix everything. He believes that there are solutions to alleviate the problem, but we must begin by understanding it
Les Echos
With his graphic genius, Christophe Blain makes Jean-Marc Jancovici's analysis of climate. Change widely accessible ... the subject is serious but nothing forbids laughing at it ... Mischevious and lively
La Croix
Is it possible to talk about energy, climate, ecology and the uncertain future in a simple and fun way? World Without End shows that it is
