Is our economy fit for a low-carbon world? Tim Jackson, author of *Prosperity without Growth*, argues that the current economic model is driving us towards climate catastrophe, not away from it.

Is our economy fit for a low-carbon world? Tim Jackson, author of *Prosperity without Growth*, argues that the current economic model is driving us towards climate catastrophe, not away from it. He asserts that building a new, sustainable economic model is the most urgent task of our time.

Jackson, a leading sustainability adviser, contends that the prevailing system fails to deliver widespread prosperity, undermining wellbeing in rich nations and neglecting the poorest. Having already led to economic instability, it now threatens a climate crisis. His book, an update to a groundbreaking report for the Sustainable Development Commission, has significantly contributed to the burgeoning debate on economic growth's consequences for people and planet.

The suitability of our current economic model for a low-carbon world is under scrutiny. Tim Jackson, author of "Prosperity without Growth," argues that economic growth relentlessly drives us towards climate catastrophe, rather than offering a solution. He asserts that building a new economic model fit for a low-carbon future is the most urgent task of our time.

Professor Jackson contends that the prevailing system is failing, undermining wellbeing in rich nations and neglecting the poorest. He warns that it has already led to economic instability and, if unchecked, threatens a climate catastrophe. His book, an update to a highly acclaimed report, has significantly fueled the burgeoning debate on economic growth and its global consequences.
