Global environmental leader Ani Dasgupta takes an honest look at lagging climate action and maps out what can be done to rebuild hope for the future.
In 2015, world leaders came together in Paris and signed an agreement to save the planet. Ten years later, we have made little progress on the ground, and the climate crisis is worse than ever. We’ve mostly figured out what we need to do, but not how to get it done—and time is running out.
In this groundbreaking new book, World Resources Institute President and CEO Ani Dasgupta explores how to orchestrate change at speed and scale. How do we get countries to keep working together on climate action when multilateralism is declining? How do we harness technological innovation to protect nature, rather than destroy it? How do we dismantle entrenched power structures and rapidly transition to a clean, resilient economy?
Based on conversations with more than one hundred leaders around the world, The New Global Possible weaves together stories of unusual partnerships, collaborative leadership, and lessons learned from failure. Mining the rich history of the climate movement, Dasgupta defines the narrow path to a hopeful future—one requiring all of our collective focus and determination—and offers a radical new practice for orchestrating change for good.
Aniruddha (Ani) Dasgupta is president and CEO of World Resources Organization, where he works to advance the institute's global vision to improve the lives of all people and ensure that nature can thrive. Dasgupta is a widely recognized leader in the fields of sustainable cities, urban design, and poverty alleviation. Prior to joining WRI, Dasgupta served as director of knowledge and learning at the World Bank, where he provided leadership in the Bank's knowledge services for development. He lives in Washington, DC, with his wife and has two sons. James A. Harmon is chair of World Resources Organization and chairman of the Egyptian-American Enterprise Fund, a private corporation seeded by US government funds to promote the development of the Egyptian private sector. Nominated by President Clinton and confirmed by the US Senate in June 1997, he was the chairman of the Export-Import Bank of the United States for the four years that ended June 2001. Prior to that he was chairman and CEO of the investment bank Schroder Wertheim (19861996). He lives in Weston, Connecticut.
