| Abstract | "In the spring of 2020, people worldwide found themselves confined at home in response to pandemic lockdown orders. Global carbon emissions suddenly plunged 8.8 percent. Air and noise pollution levels plummeted, and streams, rivers, and lakes noticeably became cleaner. Animal life quickly filled spaces that humans had deserted. Scientists documenting how quickly nature flourished in response to less human activity called the phenomena an 'anthropause.' For a moment, humanity witnessed the beauty of degrowth. As environmental conditions continue to worsen, is degrowth the collective intervention we must consider to protect the living Earth - and civilization as we know it - from collapse? In Anthropause, eco-warrior and sustainability expert Stan Cox argues that yes, that through methods of degrowth, we can nourish the global population and free ourselves from ecocidal economies and the injustice they impose on us. We stand at the tipping point of irreversible climate catastrophe. Anthropause shows us a path towards renewing the living world" -- Provided by publisher. |
