Global environmental leader Ani Dasgupta takes an honest look at lagging climate action & maps out what can be done to rebuild hope for the future.
In 2015, world leaders came together in Paris & signed an agreement to save the planet. Ten years later, we have made little progress on the ground, & the climate crisis is worse than ever. We've mostly figured out what we need to do, but not how to get it done-and time is running out.
In this groundbreaking new book, World Resources Institute President & CEO Ani Dasgupta explores how to orchestrate change at speed & scale. How do we get countries to keep working together on climate action when multilateralism is declining? How do we harness technological innovation to protect nature, rather than destroy it? How do we dismantle entrenched power structures & rapidly transition to a clean, resilient economy?
Based on conversations with more than one hundred leaders around the world, The New Global Possible weaves together stories of unusual partnerships, collaborative leadership, & lessons learned from failure. Mining the rich history of the climate movement, Dasgupta defines the narrow path to a hopeful future-one requiring all of our collective focus & determination-and offers a radical new practice for orchestrating change for good.
