To do so, we'll need radical systemic change to how we live and work--and fast. How can we ever achieve this?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eTop policy analyst and author Seth Klein reveals we can do it now because we've done it before. During the Second World War, Canadian citizens and government remade the economy by retooling factories, transforming their workforce, and making the war effort a common cause for \u003ci\u003eall\u003c\/i\u003e Canadians to contribute to.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKlein demonstrates how wartime thinking and community efforts can be repurposed today for Canada's own Green New Deal. He shares how we can create jobs and reduce inequality while tackling our climate obligations for a climate neutral--or even climate zero--future. From enlisting broad public support for new economic models, to job creation through investment in green infrastructure, Klein shows us a bold, practical policy plan for Canada's sustainable future. More than this: \u003ci\u003eA Good War\u003c\/i\u003e offers a remarkably hopeful message for how we can meet the defining challenge of our lives.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCOVID-19 has brought a previously unthinkable pace of change to the world--one which demonstrates our ability to adapt rapidly when we're at risk. Many recent changes are what Klein proposes in these very pages. The world can, actually, turn on a dime if necessary. This is the blueprint for how to do it. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e ECW Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781770415454\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 464\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 1.00d","brand":"Seth Klein","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36668264087708,"sku":"9781770415454","price":16.96,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_d8107589-921a-4d05-a3ed-6c651a873c61.jpg?v=1603917104","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/a-good-war-mobilizing-canada-for-the-climate-emergency-9781770415454","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
