How The Rich Are Destroying The Earth by Hervé Kempf

Herve Kempf highlights the alarming disparity between the millions of engaged citizens around the world who are trying to do right by the planet and those who continue to benefit by plundering the environment because they have access to 'lifeboats' that insulate them from the resulting catastrophes. He argues that our priority should be to redistribute global material consumption to ensure we consume less and avoid the continuing punishment of the poor. For this we require fresh political leadership - emerging from a new collective will - to deliver the major change that is required. In the face of this prognosis, Herve Kempf calls for measured optimism: 'Despite the scale of the challenges that await us, solutions are emerging and - faced with the sinister prospects the oligarchs promote - the desire to remake the world is being reborn'.
