Climate Code Red: The Case for Emergency Action is a 2008 book which presents scientific evidence that the global warming crisis is worse than official reports and national governments have so far indicated.

The book argues humanity is facing a sustainability emergency that requires a clear break from business-as-usual politics.

The authors explain that emergency action to address climate change is not so much a radical idea as an indispensable course to embark upon.
