Description
The climate crisis presents a clear and present danger to life on earth. Yet we have almost everything we need to tackle it, except the political determination to do so. Politicians stand at a crossroads where the path to green policies is fraught with political risks, as the immediate costs to society may overshadow the profound future benefits. Leveraging his economics training, Lorenzo Forni sets out the decisions we need to take to collectively save the world from the ravages of climate catastrophe and how politicians might keep voters on board with the net-zero agenda. He demonstrates how reaching the net-zero emissions target to forestall further climatic change cannot be achieved by small changes in individual lifestyles alone, but by big and brave public policy enacted by governments that is properly financed and economically sound.
