Chris Turner is the 2023 winner of the Shaughnessy Cohen Prize for Political Writing, another in the Writers' Trust list of writing awards.

In How to be a Climate Optimist: Blueprints for a Better World is a "self-help guide for the planet and a masterclass in brisk, vivid storytelling" says the Jury for the Canadian nonfiction prize.

Turner presents "a compelling argument: gloom and doom is not an effective strategy".
