An urgent plan to confront climate change, transform the American economy, and create a green post-fossil fuel culture.

A new vision for America’s future is quickly gaining momentum. Facing a global emergency, a younger generation is spearheading a national conversation around a Green New Deal and setting the agenda for a bold political movement with the potential to revolutionize society. Millennials, the largest voting bloc in the country, are now leading on the issue of climate change.

While the Green New Deal has become a lightning rod in the political sphere, there is a parallel movement emerging within the business community that will shake the very foundation of the global economy in coming years. Key sectors of the economy are fast-decoupling from fossil fuels in favor of ever cheaper solar and wind energies and the new business opportunities and employment that accompany them. New studies are sounding the alarm that trillions of dollars in stranded fossil fuel assets could create a carbon bubble likely to burst by 2028, causing the collapse of the fossil fuel civilization. The marketplace is speaking, and governments will need to adapt if they are to survive and prosper.

In The Green New Deal, New York Times bestselling author and renowned economic theorist Jeremy Rifkin delivers the political narrative and economic plan for the Green New Deal that we need at this critical moment in history. The concurrence of a stranded fossil fuel assets bubble and a green political vision opens up the possibility of a massive shift to a post-carbon ecological era, in time to prevent a temperature rise that will tip us over the edge into runaway climate change. With twenty-five years of experience implementing Green New Deal–style transitions for both the European Union and the People’s Republic of China, Rifkin offers his vision for how to transform the global economy and save life on Earth.

一个应对气候变化、改造美国经济、创造绿色后化石燃料文化的紧急计划。

一个关于美国未来的新愿景正在迅速获得势头。面对一个全球性的紧急情况，年轻一代正带头围绕绿色新政进行全国性的对话，并为一个有可能彻底改变社会的大胆政治运动制定议程。千禧一代是美国最大的投票群体，现在在气候变化问题上处于领先地位。

虽然绿色新政已经成为政治领域的一个避雷针，但在商业界也出现了一个平行的运动，将在未来几年动摇全球经济的基础。经济的关键部门正在快速与化石燃料脱钩，以支持越来越便宜的太阳能和风能以及随之而来的新商业机会和就业。新的研究正在敲响警钟，数万亿美元的搁浅化石燃料资产可能会产生一个碳泡沫，可能在2028年破裂，导致化石燃料文明的崩溃。市场在说话，政府要想生存和繁荣，就需要适应。

在《绿色新政》中，《纽约时报》畅销书作者和著名经济理论家杰里米-里夫金为绿色新政提供了我们在这个历史关键时刻所需要的政治叙述和经济计划。搁浅的化石燃料资产泡沫和绿色政治愿景的同时出现，为大规模转向后碳生态时代提供了可能性，及时防止温度上升，使我们陷入失控的气候变化。里夫金拥有25年为欧盟和中华人民共和国实施绿色新政式过渡的经验，他提出了如何转变全球经济和拯救地球生命的愿景。
