Big World, Small Planet har av forskare och politiker kallats decenniets viktigaste bok. Det �r en inspirerande ber�ttelse om den st�rsta utmaningen i m�nsklighetens historia, en transformation till en h�llbar v�rld p� en stabil planet. Den �r n�dv�ndig, f�r att undvika att globala milj�risker urholkar jordens f�rm�ga att st�dja v�r sociala och ekonomiska utveckling. Vi har allt att vinna p� att �terkoppla oss till naturen och skapa v�lf�rd f�r alla inom planetens gr�nser. Det �r en hoppets och m�jligheternas resa.

Johan Rockstr�m, en av v�rldens ledande experter p� h�llbar utveckling, och v�rldsfotografen Mattias Klum ber�ttar i denna bok om de utmaningar som m�nniskan st�r inf�r – och de rika m�jligheter som finns f�r m�nskligheten att i v�lst�nd leva i samklang med naturen.

"V�r framtid st�r och v�ger. Vi �samkar planeten Jorden stor skada och om vi forts�tter som om ingenting har h�nt, kan vi komma att passera en punkt bortom vilken det inte finns n�gon �terv�ndo – d�r ekosystem kollapsar och fler och fler arter utrotas. Men om vi agerar nu s� finns det hopp. Johan Rockstr�m och Mattias Klum visar v�gen med vetenskaplig klarhet, kraftfullt ber�ttande och fantastiska fotografier.”
Dr. Jane Goodall

”Den h�r boken �r allt som beh�vs f�r att b�de hj�rta och hj�rna ska bli �vertygad om kraften i en f�r�ndring till en v�rld som v�xer och frodas inom planetens gr�nser.”
Richard Branson
