Just Earth

From food poverty to wildfires and degraded rivers, mass migration and conflict, the environmental crisis is already here - and it''s set to get much worse. While billionaires build remote bunkers and make plans for colonies on Mars, climate collapse impacts the most vulnerable among us first and hardest. But what this radical and ground-breaking book proves is that inequality isn''t just about who suffers the consequences, it is the main obstacle blocking action - and it has been for decades. We can''t fight the climate and nature crises without addressing the ever-widening gaps between rich and poor, the powerful and the weak. Environmentalist Tony Juniper CBE reveals in this eye-opening book that green technologies won''t work on their own - in order to save and restore the natural systems which sustain society, the economy and civilisation, it is vital that we break the traps set by inequalities. Including a range of interviews with globally renowned experts and drawing upon 40 years of research, influence, campaigning and advocacy, in Just Earth , Tony Juniper provides answers to how we can achieve real, lasting change.
