The present trajectory of life on this planet is unsustainable, and the underlying causes of our environmental crisis are inseparable from our social and economic systems. As climate predictions continue to exceed projections, it is clear that hopelessness is rapidly becoming our worst enemy. What is needed - urgently - is a new vision for the flourishing of life on this planet, a vision the authors are calling an ecological civilization.
