Reviews
The authors are ideally situated to understand the ins and outs of the climate crisis, and in this book they deliver an insightful overview, one that will be useful to any student of our dilemma. -- Bill McKibben, author of The End of Nature In Earth at Risk, Claude Henry and Laurence Tubiana do more than explain why action is urgently needed to conserve the world's natural capital. They also explain why some previous efforts failed, why others succeeded, and how, drawing from the lessons of both kinds of experience, the world can achieve sustainable development in the future. -- Scott Barrett, Columbia University
