A planet to win

All politics are climate politics in the twenty-first century - and this bold book argues for a Green New Deal that confronts both climate change and inequality The age of climate gradualism is over, as unprecedented disasters are exacerbated by�inequalities of race and class. We need profound, radical change. A Green New Deal can tackle�the climate emergency and rampant inequality at the same time. Cutting carbon emissions while winning immediate gains for the many is the only way to build a movement strong enough to�defeat big oil, big business, and the super-rich - starting right now. A Planet to Win explores the political potential and concrete first steps of a Green New Deal. It�calls for dismantling the fossil fuel industry and building beautiful landscapes of renewable�energy, guaranteeing climate-friendly work and no-carbon housing and free public transit. And it shows how a Green New Deal in the United States can strengthen climate justice movements�worldwide.�We don't make politics under conditions of our own choosing, and no one would choose this�crisis. But crises also present opportunities. We stand on the brink of disaster - but also at the�cusp of wondrous, transformative change.
