Great Disruption - How the Climate Crisis Will Transform the Global Economy
It's time to stop just worrying about climate change, says Paul Gilding. The 'Great Disruption' started in 2008, with spiking food and oil prices and dramatic ecological change like the melting polar icecap. We need instead to brace for impact, because global crisis is no longer avoidable.
We have come to the end of Economic Growth, Version 1.0, a world economy based on consumption and waste, where we lived beyond the means of our planet's ecosystems and resources. It is not simply about fossil fuels and carbon footprints. The Great Disruption offers a stark and unflinching look at the challenge humanity faces - yet also a deeply optimistic message.
The coming decades will see loss, suffering and conflict as our planetary overdraft is paid. However, they will also bring out the best humanity can offer: compassion, innovation, resilience and adaptability. The Great Disruption is an invigorating and well-informed polemic by an advocate for sustainability who has dedicated his life to campaigning for a balanced use of Earth's limited resources.
It is essential reading.
