Tony Juniper – Just Earth: How a Fairer World Will Save the Planet
19th October @ 18:00 – 19:00
From wildfires and floods, to food poverty, degraded rivers, mass migration and conflict, the environmental crisis is already here – and it’s set to get worse. How can people lead good lives without ultimately hastening global collapse, and how might we ask those in developing countries to reject the consumerist culture that has seized richer nations?
In this extraordinary, hopeful book, leading environmentalist Tony Juniper shows the answer lies in fairness. We can’t fight the climate and nature crises without addressing the ever-widening gaps between rich and poor, the powerful and the weak. 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.
