Description
The theme of this book is learning from the current Covid-19 pandemic. The goal is to see how we might apply theoretical and pragmatic economic and management approaches to better understand the challenges to come from anthropogenic climate change. Can we really expect the same social, political and economic systems that failed to prevent and effectively mitigate the Covid-19 pandemic to do the same with anthropogenic climate change?
If the management of the Covid-19 pandemic was a dress rehearsal for Anthropogenic climate change, then there is a high probability that our opening night performance may result in a fiasco. Moreover, if we consider climate change as a pandemic, one that has been denied and sometimes ridiculed by humankind over the past fifty years, we will need far more than a vaccine program to mitigate it.
This book is not offering any specific strategic proposals. There are no checklists, no simple policies, no tidy software solutions, nor any specific technologies or green-branding campaigns that will offer us a singular coherent solution that we can take from the lessons of the Covid-19 pandemic as we dive headfirst into the Anthropocene. What we do offer is a case for an on-going profound engagement with the very forces that threaten to destroy us.
