Check out this interesting interview with Nicholas Stern in The Guardian newspaper, discussing his new book A Blueprint for a Safer Planet: How to Manage Climate Change and Create a New Era of Progress and Prosperity. As Stern states:
“We’re the first generation that has had the power to destroy the planet. Ignoring that risk can only be described as reckless.”
Stern has become a global authority on climate change since the publication of his report The Economics of Climate Change. This report, commissioned by the UK Government, suggests that if we don’t invest 1% of global GDP in tackling climate change per annum, the eventual cost to society will be 20% of global GDP.
