In October 2006, Nicholas Stern, one of the greatest
economists and public intellectuals of our day, made
headlines around the world with his report, which reviewed
the costs and benefits of dealing with global warming. The
world’s community has learned that it must act to mitigate
global climate change, but until the Stern Review, no one
knew how much it would cost, and how to do it. Now, Stern has transformed his report into a powerful
narrative book for general readers. The Global Deal
evaluates the economic future, and the essential steps we
must take to protect growth and reduce poverty while
managing climate change. The future Stern outlines is optimistic and pragmatic; he
believes we have the capacity and creativity to change. But
we need the will to inspire our political leaders to drive a
new global strategy.
