Climate Code Red: The Case for a Sustainability Emergency

A new book is out in Australia -- Climate Code Red: The Case for a Sustainability Emergency. A joint project of Greenleap and the Carbon Equity Campaign (in affiliation with Friends of the Earth in Australia), the authors put forward five key points:

1. Our goal is a safe-climate future – we have no right to bargain away species or human lives

2. We are facing rapid warming impacts: the danger is immediate, not just in the future

3. For a safe climate future, we must take action now to stop emissions and to cool the earth

4. Plan a large-scale transition to a post-carbon economy and society

5. Recognise a climate and sustainability emergency, because we need to move at a pace far beyond business and politics as usual
