I firmly believe that it’s time that we stop pitting climate against the economy – as though doing the right thing for the climate will be wrong for everything else, and somehow the trade off isn’t worth it, which justifies stalling on critical climate change action. At the same time, the concept of endless economic growth is a myth, in my opinion. Nothing can go up forever – at some point, things need to moderate, which is precisely what is needed to stay within planetary boundaries.
So, we can still have an economy – but a livable climate has to far outrank making more money, burning fossil fuels and maintaining the status quo.
