Description:
In these unprecedented times, the global economic system is in turmoil, driving the need for a transformative solution. "Earth For All" serves as a vital guide to navigating our complex world. Fifty years after "The Limits to Growth" alerted us to the dangers of unchecked population and industrial expansion, we stand on the brink of catastrophe. With numerous environmental crises and increasing social inequalities, the stakes have never been higher.
This groundbreaking book presents a comprehensive framework for a sustainable economic future. Utilizing cutting-edge global modeling, a distinguished collective of scientists and economists outlines five pivotal strategies for achieving prosperity within the Earth's ecological limits. Readers will discover:
1. Insightful analysis of global modeling predicting declines in well-being and rising social unrest, heightening the risk of societal collapse.
2. Two distinct scenarios—"Too-Little-Too-Late" versus "The Giant Leap"—that describe our potential futures.
3. Five revolutionary actions aimed at eradicating poverty, boosting equity, and reforming our food and energy sectors by 2050.
4. A straightforward roadmap to revitalize our economic framework for the benefit of all, harmonizing human needs with planetary health.
Written in an engaging and accessible manner, complemented by impactful visuals, "Earth For All" is not just a book; it’s an essential survival guide for humanity, making it a must-read for anyone invested in a sustainable future and seeking actionable solutions to climate change and economic inequality.

Description:
The economic system keeps crashing. It's time to install a new operating system.
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 c
