The data shows weve made so much progress on these problems, and so fast, that we could be on track to achieve true sustainability for the first time in history.Packed with the latest research, practical guidance and enlightening graphics, this book will make you rethink almost everything youve been told about the environment, from the virtues of eating locally and living in the countryside, to the evils of overpopulation, plastic straws and palm oil. It will give you the tools to understand what works, what doesnt and what we urgently need to focus on so we can leave a sustainable planet for future generations.These problems are big. But they are solvable. We are not doomed. We can build a better future for everyone. Lets turn that opportunity into reality.---------------------------------------A book for anyone who finds it difficult to believe in a better future THE TIMESI hope people around the world read this book, understand our planet isnt a lost cause, and get inspired to help fix it Bill GatesA STYLIST BEST NON-FICTION 2024 * A GUARDIAN BIGGEST FICTION AND NON-FICTION FOR 2024 * A FINANCIAL TIMES BEST BOOK OF 2024 * A WATERSTONES BOOK YOU NEED TO READ IN 2024 FORMAT Paperback CONDITION Brand New Author Biography Dr Hannah Ritchie is Senior Researcher in the Programme for Global Development at the University of Oxford.
