Beskrivning

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. 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 green transition. He shows how reaching the net-zero emissions target to forestall further climatic change cannot be achieved by small changes in individual lifestyles alone, but requires big and brave public policy enacted by governments that is properly financed and economically sound.

Recensioner i media

I have always believed in the importance of the precautionary principle when addressing climate issues – better to act decisively and risk doing too much than to do too little. This book compellingly explains why this approach is necessary and just how far we are from the risk of 'doing too much'.
