Description
We have turned our home planet into a disposable world, using resources as though there were no tomorrow. It is time to make it a renewable world instead.
We must urgently reconcile two things: our common desire to achieve certain living standards, and our requirement to do so sustainably. And we must do this in the face of the quadruple crisis facing us - climate, energy, finance and poverty.
This timely book explores proven and emerging solutions for building a global green energy economy as a basis for a prosperous and yet sustainable world. Only a world based on continuous renewal can sustain life and livelihoods. This book shares many examples and proposals for:
- accelerating the renewable energy revolution,
- renewing the world's ecosystems and soils,
- renewing cities and local economies, and
- invigorating international cooperation
It is a book full of ideas whose time has come.
