Moving to a Finite Earth Economy by 2030 addresses two critical human issues: the existential threat of climate change, and the fact that Growth Economies are the root cause.
Moving to a Finite Earth Economy by 2030 is our crucial strategy for successfully facing climate change. It delivers the plan for the necessary re-invention of capitalism. Nothing less than these bold actions will be sufficient.
Capitalism has served its purpose. It has improved the quality of life for billions. But it has reached the end of its road. Continued growth is too much of a good thing. The greenhouse gas emissions, plus the industrial waste, plus the loss of habitat are killing life on the planet. We are at the beginning of a mass extinction which is affecting the bottom of the food chain first.
