Description

The blueprint for an inspiring regenerative economy that avoids collapse and works for people and the planet.

Humanity is in a race with catastrophe. Is the future one of global warming, 65 million migrants fleeing failed states, soaring inequality, and grid-locked politics Or one of empowered entrepreneurs and innovators building a world that works for everyone

While the specter of collapse looms large, A Finer Future demonstrates that humanity has a chance just to thread the needle of sustainability and build a regenerative economy thorough a powerful combination of enlightened entrepreneurialism, technology, and innovative policy.

The authors world leaders in business, economics, and sustainability gather the evidence, outline the principles of a regenerative economy, and detail a policy roadmap to achieving it, including:

• Transforming finance and corporations
• Reimagining energy, agriculture, and the nature of how we work
• Enhancing human well-being
• Delivering a world that respects ecosystems and human community.

Charting the course to a regenerative economy is the most important work facing humanity and A Finer Future provides the essential blueprint for business leaders, entrepreneurs, environmentalists, politicians, policymakers, and others working to create a world that works for people and the planet.
