We are facing a crisis of material resource use. How can we address the growing demand for resources in a systemic way? Lewis Akenji of the Hot or Cool Institute and Earth4All Transformational Economics Commission explains why now is the moment to rethink the systems that meet our needs so that more sustainable resource use becomes the default.

Earth4All is an international initiative to accelerate the systems-change we need for an equitable future on a finite planet. Our analysis combines the best available science with new economic thinking. We found that the next ten years must see the fastest economic transformation in history if we want to steer humanity away from social and ecological catastrophe.
