NET ZERO

What can we really do about the climate emergency The inconvenient truth is that we are causing the climate crisis with our carbon intensive lifestyles and that fixing or even just slowing it will affect all of us But it can be done In Net Zero economist Dieter Helm addresses the action we all need to take to tackle the climate emergency personal local national and global Reducing our own carbon consumption is the first step Helm argues that we the ultimate polluters should pay based on how much carbon the products we buy produce We need a carbon price and one that applies to everything and everywhere from flights to food and farming The goal of net zero carbon emissions needs a rethink and this book sets out how to do it in a plan that could and would work Do this and we make no further contribution to global warming in a way that embraces sustainable economic growth and does not harm other aspects of the environment in the process There is a solution and we must find it Everything is at stake
