🍃 Effective implementation of sustainable policies could do more than avert environmental catastrophe: it may also unlock decades of innovation, growth and prosperity.
This is the argument of The Growth Story of the 21st Century: the economics and opportunity of climate action (@LSEPress), a new book by Lord Nick Stern.
🌊 The world cannot afford to look away from the climate crisis. He explains why climate action is the economic opportunity we must seize.

🥇 As we're named the top university in the UK for the 2nd year running, discover our 130-year story of learning, innovation, research, and the incredible people who make our LSE community what it is today.
The UK General Election is coming up in 2 weeks! Join LSE academics and guest speakers for an evening of lively analysis, debate and conversation covering the winners, losers, and the consequences for the UK and the rest of the world.
LSE researcher Daniel Chandler considers the work of one of the 20th Century’s foremost political philosophers - and wonders if answers to our collective troubles might just be hiding in plain sight.
