The Mend is Nigh: Hannah Ritchie on How to Build a Sustainable Planet
Intelligence Squared
A Discussion on Sustainability and the Opportunity to Create a Sustainable Generation
The core argument in the book is that the current generation has the opportunity to be the first sustainable generation by achieving both high living standards and environmental sustainability. Historically, societies were environmentally sustainable but had low living standards, while improvements in living conditions over the past few centuries have come at the cost of the environment. The book presents a practical and optimistic framing, emphasizing that doomsday thinking is not helpful and that environmental problems are solvable. The author advocates for pushing back against the feeling of incapability and taking steps to address environmental challenges.
