Samenvatting
Earth For All is an antidote to despair. Combining the global economy, population, inequality, food, and energy in a state-of-the art computer model, a leading group of scientists and economists present a plan of five system-shifting steps to achieve prosperity for all within planetary limits in a single generation.
The economic operating system keeps crashing. It's time to upgrade to a new one.
An extraordinary book at an extraordinary time. —BAN KI-MOON, 8th Secretary General of the United Nations
Read on to explore possible futures for humanity and join the most vital debate of our times. —KATE RAWORTH, author, Doughnut Economics
Should be discussed by all the parliaments of the world. —VANESSA NAKATE, founder, Africa-based Rise Up Movement
FIVE DECADES AGO, The Limits to Growth shocked the world. For the first time, it charted how population and industrial growth were pushing humanity towards a cliff. Today we are at the cliff edge: Earth has crossed multiple planetary boundaries. On top of that, widespread inequality is causing deep social instabilities, making it even more difficult to address our crises. People are calling for systems change. But what does that mean?
For the first time, Earth For All lays out what systems change really means for civilization. It is both an antidote to despair and a roadmap to a better future. Using groundbreaking computer modeling, leading scientists and economists show how five extraordinary turnarounds are needed urgently to achieve prosperity for all within planetary limits within a single generation.
This unique analysis explores:
- A clear pathway to reboot our global economic system
- Two alternative scenarios this century – Too-Little-Too-Late vs The Giant Leap
- Five system-shifting steps that can upend poverty and inequality and transform our food and energy systems by 2050.
Accessible and inspirational, this survival guide for humanity is required reading for everyone concerned about living well on a fragile planet.
Collapse is still avoidable; here's how. —BILL McKIBBEN, author, The End of Nature
For the first time we have a narrative about our future that is neither utopia nor collapse and that is endorsable across the political spectrum. —CARLOTA PEREZ, author, Technological Revolutions and Financial Capital
The economic operating system keeps crashing. It’s time to upgrade to a new one.
Five decades ago, The Limits to Growth shocked the world by showing that population and industrial growth were pushing humanity towards a cliff. Today the world recognizes that we are now at the cliff edge: Earth has crossed multiple planetary boundaries while widespread inequality is causing deep instabilities in societies. There seems to be no way out.
Earth For All is both an antidote to despair and a road map to a better future. Using powerful state-of-the-art computer modeling to explore policies likely to deliver the most good for the majority of people, a leading group of scientists and economists from around the world present five extraordinary turnarounds to achieve prosperity for all within planetary limits in a single generation. Coverage includes:
- Results of new global modeling that indicates falling well-being and rising social tensions heighten risk of regional societal collapses
- Two alternative scenarios – Too-Little-Too-Late vs The Giant Leap – and what they mean for our collective future
- Five system-shifting steps that can upend poverty and inequality, lift up marginalized people, and transform our food and energy systems by 2050
- A clear pathway to reboot our global economic system so it works for all people and the planet.
Written in an open, accessible, and inspirational style using clear language and high impact visuals, Earth For All is a profound vision for uncertain times and a map to a better future.
This survival guide for humanity is required reading for everyone concerned about living well on a fragile planet.
