WINNING THE GREEN NEW DEAL: WHY WE MUST, HOW WE CAN
Book ID/图书代码： 11650020C00006
English Summary/英文概要： In October 2018, scientists warned that we have less than 12 years left to transform our economy away from fossil fuels, or face catastrophic climate change. At that moment, there was no plan in the US to decarbonize our economy that fast. Less than two years later, every major Democratic presidential candidate has embraced the vision of the Green New Deal--a rapid, vast transformation of our economy to avert climate catastrophe while securing economic and racial justice for all.
What happened? A new generation of leaders confronted the political establishment in Washington DC with a simple message: the climate crisis is here, and the Green New Deal is our last, best hope for a livable future. Now comes the hard part: turning that vision into the law of the land.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 2018年10月科学家警告称，我们只有不到12年的时间来实现经济转型，摆脱对化石燃料的依赖，否则将面临灾难性的气候变化。当时，美国还没有计划让我们的经济如此快速地去碳化。不到两年之后，每一位主要的民主党总统候选人都接受了“绿色新政”的愿景——对我们的经济进行快速、大规模的改革，以避免气候灾难，同时为所有人确保经济和种族公平。
发生了什么事?新一代领导人向华盛顿特区的政治机构传达了一个简单的信息:气候危机已经来临，绿色新政是我们对未来宜居生活最后的、也是最好的希望。现在困难的部分来了:把这种愿景变成国家的法律。（WYL)
