An urgent call for the political transformation needed to address
the common causes of climate change, COVID-19, and racism. " . . .
some big titles will address emergencies that have outlived Trump.
The Path to a Livable Future by Stan Cox, explores the connections
among the many crises of the past year and a half."-Dorany Pineda,
Los Angeles Times 2020 was a year defined by crisis. 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 color. In
cities around the world, people took to the streets to protest
racial inequity in all of its forms. In The Path to a Livable
Future, Stan Cox makes plain the connections between the multiple
crises facing us today, and provides an inspired vision for how to
resolve them. With a deeply informed, clear to-do list, Cox shows
us how we can work together to address the climate emergency, white
supremacy, and our vulnerability to future pandemics all at once.
Our future depends on it. "An iconoclast of the best kind, Stan Cox
has an all-too-rare commitment to following arguments wherever they
lead, however politically dangerous that turns out to be."-Naomi
Klein "Cox lays out a refreshingly grounded roadmap for the
survival of all life on earth, based on up-to-date science, and
anchored in the racial justice imperative."-Leah Penniman,
co-founder of Soul Fire Farm, author of Farming While Black: Soul
Fire Farm's Practical Guide to Liberation on the Land "Above all,
he shows that a healthy, just, sustainable future is possible if we
reduce our ecological footprint and share the earth's gifts
equitably. For this we need to organize, resist, imagine, and forge
another path together."-Vandana Shiva, author of Who Really Feeds
the World?: The Failures of Agribusiness and the Promise of
Agroecology
