Our planet's future is too often described in terms of doom
and despair. However, there is another perspective that is
not only positive, but credible, too.
The World We
Made describes a planet that is green, fair, connected,
and collaborative. Based on extensive research, leading
environmentalist Jonathon Porritt reveals how we can achieve
a genuinely sustainable world by 2050 if we act immediately.
Part history, part narrative, The World We Made
describes the key events, technological breakthroughs, and
lifestyle revolutions that could transform our planet,
covering topics as wide-ranging as 3D printing, personal
genomics, urban agriculture, and the digital landscape. The
book's innovative ideas are brought to life with futuristic
photographs, infographics, and hand-drawn sketches, while an
extensive index provides the tools and tips needed to
prepare for what's ahead.
The World We Made is
essential reading for anyone interested in preserving our
planet. All royalties will support the work of Forum for the
Future, one of the world's leading sustainable development
non-profits.
