The push for net zero has become a new arena for class conflict, where the powerful profit and the rest suffer. Nicholas Beuret's incisive critique and actionable strategies empower us to fight for a truly sustainable and equitable future.
The transition to a decarbonized economy has ignited a new arena of class conflict, one that subtly invades our home, workplaces, and across our communities. Our rush toward net zero is not as straightforward as it seems. Claims of sustainability disguise a zero-sum battle where the powerful profit and the everyday person pays the price through a diminishing quality of life.
In The War of Transition, Nicholas Beuret unravels the complexities of the green economy. Energy bills soar by 80%, and even the most basic necessities become scarce luxuries. He reveals a landscape marred by geopolitical struggles, green colonialism, and a relentless squeeze on living standards. With the result that the climate crisis and industrial practices systematically degrade our essential resources-food, water, and people-to ensure business remains profitable.
The War of Transition exposes the stark realities of the so-called green transition and the need for a radical reimagining of how we fight for a just, sustainable future. It follows those already fighting back-with refusal, counter-planning, and blockade-to seize control of the transition and forge a path to a truly livable world
