Sustainability has emerged as a global priority over the past several years. The 2015 Paris Agreement on climate change and the adoption of the 17 Sustainable Development Goals through the United Nations have highlighted the need to address critical challenges such as the buildup of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere, water shortages, and air pollution. But in the United States, partisan divides, regional disputes, and disagreements over core principles have made it nearly impossible to chart a course toward a sustainable future.

A Better Planet” seeks to offer fresh thinking and forward-looking solutions from environmental thought leaders across the political spectrum. The book’s 40 essays cover such subjects as ecology, environmental justice, big data, public health, and climate change, all with an emphasis on sustainability. “A Better Planet” focuses on moving toward sustainability through actionable, bipartisan approaches based on rigorous analytical research.
