The climate emergency is a pressing issue that requires immediate action. Our carbon-intensive lifestyles are causing the crisis, and fixing it will affect all of us. However, it is possible to make a difference. In his book, "Net Zero," economist Dieter Helm outlines the steps we can take to address the climate emergency: personal, local, national, and global. Reducing our own carbon consumption is the first step. Helm argues that we, as the ultimate polluters, should pay based on how much carbon the products we buy produce. We need a carbon price that applies to everything and everywhere, from flights to food and farming. The goal of net zero carbon emissions needs a rethink, and this book sets out how to do it in a plan that could and would work. By making these changes, we can make no further contribution to global warming while embracing sustainable economic growth and protecting other aspects of the environment. There is a solution, and we must find it. Everything is at stake.
