«Il futuro non è più quello di una volta», diceva Paul Valéry. E oggi più che mai, nel mondo dopo la pandemia, è diventato necessario ripensare al domani che ci aspetta. Ma in uno scenario che appare catastrofico e che impone di essere riconsiderato in tutto e per tutto, la prospettiva ambientale potrebbe essere l’unica risposta adeguata per fronteggiare le sfide che il presente ci pone. Siglare un nuovo Patto Atlantico delle democrazie aiuterebbe non solo a sconfiggere il virus, ma anche a ricostruire l’economia e proteggere il clima; sarebbe un tentativo per rendere concreta una solidarietà soltanto proclamata.

Many of the central concerns of the twenty-first century—racial inequity, white supremacy movements, greater inclusiveness of diverse peoples—are rooted in facing and overcoming prejudices, both common and hidden. Another great challenge—the role of wealth and innovation in solving the climate crisis—is also riddled with disabling prejudices about how corporations work, and about the rights and needs of consumers and world citizens. In his twenty-first book, Bruce Piasecki argues that a set of five recurring prejudices, from 1900 to 2020, have held up real progress on climate action.
