THIS new 60-page booklet sets out in well-researched and easily digestible form the massive task we face in dealing with climate change, and how we can achieve lasting solutions.
In the words of the authors, “to tackle the task of combating both the economic and ecological crises facing humanity, we need to identify the scale of the problem, its root causes, the sweeping transformational measures required to combat it, and the social forces required to achieve a clean, green planet, free of poverty and inequality.”
It particular, they argue that climate change has not been caused by us as individual humans. Instead they prove that a global system in place since the onset of the industrial revolution, has always placed profit in a marketplace above the needs of those who create the wealth, leading inevitably to climate catastrophe.
