ReviewsThis excellent book sets out a politically feasible approach to tackling the climate crisis and reaching net-zero emissions of carbon. It clearly and convincingly sets out the necessary policies and show that the costs are modest. Given the growing protests against climate policies, this makes essential reading for all policymakers and those interested in the green transition., I have always believed in the importance of the precautionary principle when addressing climate issues - better to act decisively and risk doing too much than to do too little. This book compellingly explains why this approach is necessary and just how far we are from the risk of 'doing too much'., A forensic, urgent and comprehensive exploration of the economic and political obstacles to climate action, and, importantly, the solutions. Forni throws a challenge to governments that they must not ignore.
