Vietnamese Book Release: Our Fragile Moment

To help ground conversations about climate change in science, history, and critical thinking, Earth VC has translated the Vietnamese edition of Our Fragile Moment by leading climate scientist Michael E. Mann, published as “Khoảnh Khắc Mong Manh Của Nhân Loại.”

The book offers Vietnamese readers access to one of the most respected global works on climate science — not as abstract theory, but as a clear, structured narrative that explains how Earth’s climate system has evolved and why understanding it matters for decisions today.

Our Fragile Moment: A Climate Science Book Now Available in Vietnamese

Khoảnh Khắc Mong Manh Của Nhân Loại speaks to anyone whose decisions shape the future. Business leaders and investors will find a clearer lens on long-term climate risk. Policy makers and planners gain historical perspective for decisions that extend far beyond election cycles. Scientists, engineers, educators, and students will recognize a rare combination of scientific rigor and accessible storytelling. Most importantly, the book is for readers who care about the future of human civilization and want to understand the forces shaping it.

What You Will Learn From Our Fragile Moment

Michael E. Mann traces Earth’s climate story across 4.54 billion years, from “Snowball Earth” to the modern, human-influenced climate system. Rather than focusing narrowly on recent decades, the book shows how climate extremes have repeatedly reshaped ecosystems, societies, and civilizations.

By placing present-day climate change within this deep historical perspective, readers gain a clearer sense of scale, context, and continuity. The book explains why today’s climate moment is unique, not through alarm, but through evidence and comparison.

Developing Critical Thinking on Climate Change

Beyond facts and data, Our Fragile Moment strengthens critical thinking. Readers learn how to distinguish natural climate variation from human-driven change, evaluate the scale and speed of today’s warming, and understand climate thresholds that cannot be reversed once crossed.

This approach avoids both denial and pessimism. Instead, it equips readers with the ability to reason clearly, assess risk, and make informed judgments under uncertainty, skills that are increasingly valuable for leaders, investors, and decision-makers across sectors.

From Knowledge to Real-World Application

The book’s insights extend far beyond theory. In business and investment contexts, it helps readers evaluate climate risk across industries, anticipate supply-chain disruption, and recognize opportunities emerging from climate adaptation and green technology.

In education and daily life, it strengthens climate literacy and helps readers engage more thoughtfully with environmental issues. For leaders, the book reinforces long-term thinking, evidence-based optimism, and the ability to inspire action grounded in historical understanding rather than short-term narratives.

Why Earth VC Brought This Book to Vietnam

Books shape how societies think before they shape how societies act. By supporting the Vietnamese edition of Our Fragile Moment, Earth VC aims to expand access to rigorous, science-based climate knowledge, strengthen critical thinking across the innovation ecosystem, and help build leaders capable of navigating complexity rather than reacting to headlines.

We’re calling on purpose-aligned partners who believe in the power of reading to accelerate Vietnam’s innovation ecosystem. Partner with us to bring these resources to more founders, accelerators, universities, and innovation hubs.
