What to expect

Brought to you by Penguin.

Seven ways green politics goes wrong. Seven ways to get it back on track.

Fatalism. Apathy. Cynicism. Deprioritisation. Hostility. Cost. Gridlock.
When green campaigners and politicians lose the debate, this is why.

Now, the Mayor of London draws on a decade in the corridors (and cycle lanes) of power to explain how, in practice, to win the climate argument. His book will help create a world where we can all breathe again.

    Fascinating and important story. Sadiq's London accent sometimes gets in the way of clarity but don't let it put you off. You soon get used to it and what he has to say is incredibly vital to everyone interested in survival of the planet. I'm a fan!
