Summary

What can we really do about the climate emergency? The inconvenient truth is that we are causing the climate crisis with our carbon intensive lifestyles and that fixing - or even just slowing - it will affect all of us. But it can be done. In Net Zero the economist Professor Dieter Helm addresses the action we would all need to take, whether personal, local, national or global, if we really wanted to stop causing climate change. Net Zero is Professor Dieter Helm's measured, balanced view of how we stop causing climate change by adopting a net zero strategy of reducing carbon emissions and increasing carbon absorption. It is a rational look at why the past 30 years efforts has failed and why and how the next 30 years can succeed. It is a vital book for anyone who hears the clamour of Extinction Rebellion and other ecological activists, but wonders what they can actually do. NET ZERO IS ABOUT TO BECOME KEY TERM within the environmentalist community and break into mainstream after key 2020 conferences. DIETER HELM has established himself as an authority on this topic. He is a key member of the government, a member of the Economics Advisory Group for Energy and Climate Change, and also the Chair of the Natural Capital Committee.
