The U.S. and a host of major corporations have shelved their efforts to replace carbon-spewing technologies with clean energy. Many countries around the world are now building their military defences instead of planetary defences. Despite years of international pledges, global efforts have failed to stop rising temperatures from endangering the planet.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYet this book argues that there is reason for hope. The author, a journalist and veteran of global climate conferences, says that even without the U.S., the efforts to make the world green and more fair, especially for the Global South, is an unstoppable force. Sustainability is being powered by solid economics: Green and renewable energy is much more profitable and economically viable than any new fossil fuels ventures. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe world, in other words, is moving ahead with sustainability plans, and in the absence of the U.S., the leaders will be China and India. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis Manifesto is written to urge citizens to renew their campaign for a sustainable future for our species and for the planet itself. At a time when efforts by global politicians have stalled while climate emergency, conflict, and corruption have corroded all our aspirations for a just society in a liveable planet, the author aims to empower citizen leaders to push for tough and enforceable measures to save the planet and our species. \"The future is a matter of choice, not fate,\" the author says. \"Let us choose to lead.\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Satya Brata Das\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1998841480\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781998841486\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Barlow Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/02\/2026\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Satya Brata Das","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":49001576956159,"sku":"9781998841486","price":24.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-manifesto-of-hope-satya-brata-das-9781998841486","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
