The Carbon Plan
The 'Carbon Plan' is a flagship publication of the World Future Council intended to fill an important knowledge gap. It will treat the subject of climate change - and its environmental, economic and social consequences - as an ethical problem to be urgently addressed on behalf of future generations. It will build on the best thinking on climate and energy to be found across the world. It will also integrate much of the research and campaign work being done by the WFC – the work on feed-in tariffs, energy efficiency, sustainable agriculture, sustainable cities, future justice and the KidsCall campaign. World Future Councillors and staff will be centrally involved in shaping this project and in giving it the substance that will make it stand out.
The goal is to produce an illustrated book of some 60,000 words to further the role of the WFC as a voice of future generations in the context of the global climate challenge. It will show how mankind can detach the global economy from its systemic fossil fuel addiction by providing irrefutable arguments for sustainable development.
