Remarkable work for the ecological transition in Europe.— L’Express

The green transition hasn’t started yet.

Despite technological innovations, changes in our habits, firms’ promises, national strategies and all the COPs, the world has never consumed so much fossil fuel as it did in 2023.

Why has there been so much speechifying for so little concrete effect? Is there anything at all behind the greening that so many organizations and citizens have been calling for?

China and the United States have already initiated spectacular industrial renewals. They are positioning themselves as champions of the green economy while organizing our dependence on them.

France and Europe, on the other hand, have been establishing more and more ambitious environmental standards that lead to populist, anti-ecological backlash. We are still trying to figure out how to transform how we produce, consume, live, get around, and eat. Without stoking anger. While also asserting our industrial and political power at the same time.

We have less than 30 years to achieve our green transition. This book is a how-to manual that can enable us to achieve that.
