Dear Gep-Ed colleagues,
What Next Forum and the Dag Hammerskjöld Foundation are pleased to
announce a new publication: "What Next III: Climate, Development and
Equity."
This thought-provoking, challenging book is now available both
electronically and in hard copy.
This What Next Volume presents voices from across the North and South,
addressing the combined challenges of climate, development and equity.
It highlights the urgency of taking action, but also shows why any
attempt to tackle climate change must be grounded in equity. How will
humanity fairly divide the rapidly diminishing global carbon budget,
while allowing billions of people in the global South (and North) the
means for economic, social and environmental well-being? How can United
Nations negotiations move forward, and what are the real and false
solutions?
/These contributions from some of the world's most far-sighted
commentators should be required reading for heads of state,
policymakers, journalists, activists and the concerned public.
Together they make the loudest call for political and individual
action and give governments the legitimacy to act.//
// - John Vidal, Environment Editor, The Guardian//
/
Free hard copies will be available at COP18 in Doha. Others who would
like a hard copy can write to [email protected], and we will do our best
to get a book sent to you.
The publication can be read online at:
