Green and Prosperous Land: A Blueprint for Rescuing the British Countryside

Green and Prosperous Land: A Blueprint for Rescuing the British Countryside

by Dieter Helm (Author)

Synopsis

An economist's approach to environmentalism, including a summary of Britain's green assets, a look towards possible futures, and an acheivable 25-year plan to a green and prosperous world.

Current methods of environmental protection in Britain are failing, and our species and habitats are in constant decline. It's time for a new approach, and Dieter Helm offers a bold, generational plan, which assesses the environment as a whole, explains the necessity of protecting and enhancing our green spaces, and offers a clear, economically viable 25-year plan to put Britain on a greener path.
Leaving behind the current sterile and ineffective battle between the environment and the economy, Helm's revolutionary plan champions the integration of the economy and the environment together to enhance sustainable economic growth.
