Description
A bold vision for a sustainable future is presented in this thought-provoking book. All politics are climate politics today, and the authors argue that a Green New Deal is necessary to address both climate change and inequality. By tackling these issues simultaneously, a radical transformation can be achieved. The book explores the political potential of a Green New Deal, proposing concrete first steps towards dismantling the fossil fuel industry and building renewable energy landscapes. It also highlights the importance of guaranteeing climate-friendly work, no-carbon housing, and free public transit. Furthermore, the authors show how a Green New Deal in the United States can strengthen climate justice movements worldwide. This book presents an opportunity for transformative change, arising from the crisis we face. By understanding the potential of a Green New Deal, readers can begin to envision a more sustainable future.
