《星期日泰晤士報》暢銷書前十名
「真正不可或缺的作品」——瑪格麗特·阿特伍德(Margaret Atwood)
「鼓舞人心」——大衛·華萊士-威爾斯(David Wallace-Wells)

我們不斷受到末日新聞的轟炸:土壤將無法支撐農作物,魚類將消失在海洋中,我們甚至該重新考慮是否應該生孩子。
然而,在這本大膽且充滿希望的書中,數據科學家漢娜·里奇(Hannah Ritchie)提出,如果我們將視角放大,一個截然不同的圖景會浮現出來。數據顯示,我們已在這些問題上取得了驚人的進展,而且進步之迅速,讓我們有望首次實現真正的永續發展。
這本書涵蓋了最新的研究、實用建議和啟發人心的圖表,將顛覆你對環境議題的既有看法,從吃在地食物和田園生活的美德,到對人口過剩、塑膠吸管與棕櫚油的刻板印象。它會教你如何辨別什麼行得通、什麼不可行,以及我們當前最迫切需要關注的重點,以確保為未來世代留下一個可持續的地球。
這些問題確實巨大,但並非無解。我們沒有注定失敗。我們能為所有人創造一個更美好的未來。讓我們一起將這個機會變為現實。
「一本寫給那些難以相信未來會更好的人」——《泰晤士報》

-------------------------------------------
We are bombarded by doomsday headlines that tell us the soil won't be able to support crops, fish will vanish from our oceans, that we should reconsider having children.
But in this bold, radically hopeful book, data scientist Hannah Ritchie argues that if we zoom out, a very different picture emerges. The data shows we've made so much progress on these problems, and so fast, that we could be on track to achieve true sustainability for the first time in history.
Packed with the latest research, practical guidance and enlightening graphics, this book will make you rethink almost everything you've been told about the environment, from the virtues of eating locally and living in the countryside, to the evils of overpopulation, plastic straws and palm oil. It will give you the tools to understand what works, what doesn't and what we urgently need to focus on so we can leave a sustainable planet for future generations.
These problems are big. But they are solvable. We are not doomed. We can build a better future for everyone. Let's turn that opportunity into reality.
