  1. 1. Break Through

    From the Death of Environmentalism to the Politics of Possibility

    In this thought-provoking exploration of environmental policy, the authors challenge conventional wisdom by arguing that the traditional approach to addressing climate change is fundamentally flawed. They advocate for a shift from focusing on limiting economic growth and reducing consumption to embracing technological innovation and economic prosperity as the primary drivers of environmental progress. By emphasizing the importance of human ingenuity and the potential for transformative breakthroughs, the book calls for a new paradigm that aligns environmental goals with the aspirations for a better quality of life, ultimately suggesting that a prosperous future is not only compatible with, but essential for, a sustainable planet.
