For decades, scientists have been sounding the alarm about the urgency of addressing climate change, but it took COVID-19 to demonstrate clearly that the future of human life on Earth is interconnected and at risk. While the virus quickly spread across the globe, extreme weather events compounded the suffering and economic catastrophe. In the U.S., public demonstrations of outrage over the murder of George Floyd expanded to include a growing awareness of the pandemic's disproportionate impact on communities of colour. In cities around the world, people took to the streets to protest racial inequity in all of its forms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn \u003ci\u003eThe Path to a Livable Future\u003c\/i\u003e, Stan Cox makes plain the connections between the multiple crises facing us today and provides an inspired vision for how to resolve them.
