The prospect of a Green New Deal is providing millions of people with a sense of hope. But is it enough to prevent climate disaster?

Stan Cox, the lead scientist at the Land Institute, is the author of a brand new book about the shortcomings of the GND, and what needs to be done to prevent ecological catastrophe before it’s too late.

In this event organized by IPS’s Climate Policy Program he’ll be joined in conversation by Lisi Krall, a professor of economics whose current research explores the interface between economy and Earth. They’ll discuss the prospects for a Green New Deal, the impact of the current coronavirus pandemic, and what it will take to address climate change in a sustainable manner.

The Green New Deal and Beyond: Ending the Climate Emergency While We Still Can by Stan Cox is now out from City Lights Books.

Pre-registration is required.
