Climate change is the greatest existential threat facing our planet, and the only way to rise to a challenge of this magnitude is to end our reliance on fossil fuels. But what should a post-carbon economy actually look like?

In this dispatch from the Paris Climate Conference, Naomi Klein explains that a truly sustainable economy is one that reduces inequality and ends our global crisis of injustice. That’s why Klein and a wide array of musicians, directors, actors, authors, community leaders, and dozens of organizations have created a manifesto that outlines how to do just that in her native Canada.
