A Blueprint for a Safer Planet - Nicholas Stern

A Blueprint for a Safer Planet by Nicholas Stern is a clear-eyed and authoritative guide to understanding climate change and what must be done to address it. Building on his landmark Stern Review on the Economics of Climate Change, Stern sets out a practical and compelling case for urgent global action — arguing that the costs of inaction far outweigh the costs of transitioning to a low-carbon economy, and that a safer, more prosperous world is within reach if we act now.

Accessible, rigorous, and deeply important, this book is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the economics and politics of climate change — and what a credible path forward looks like.
