A Planet to Win: Why We Need a Green New Deal (Jacobin)

In the twenty-first century, all politics are climate politics.

The age of climate gradualism is over, as unprecedented disasters are exacerbated byÂ inequalities of race and class. We need profound, radical change. A Green New Deal can tackleÂ the climate emergency and rampant inequality at the same time. Cutting carbon emissions while winning immediate gains for the many is the only way to build a movement strong enough toÂ defeat big oil, big business, and the super-richâ€”starting right now.

A Planet to WinÂ explores the political potential and concrete first steps of a Green New Deal. ItÂ calls for dismantling the fossil fuel industry and building beautiful landscapes of renewableÂ energy, guaranteeing climate-friendly work and no-carbon housing and free public transit. And it shows how a Green New Deal in the United States can strengthen climate justice movementsÂ worldwide.Â We donâ€™t make politics under conditions of our own choosing, and no one would choose thisÂ crisis. But crises also present opportunities. We stand on the brink of disasterâ€”but also at theÂ cusp of wondrous, transformative change.
