Operation Sustainable Human is a 2019 book by Dr Chris Macdonald[1] about optimised climate action.[2][3][4][5] The book briefly outlines the main challenges of climate change and largely focuses on the most impactful climate solutions.[6][7][8][9][10]

Overview

The book argues that the current global economic system, which is based on the principles of perpetual growth and consumption, is not sustainable in the long term and is contributing to environmental degradation, climate change, and other crises. The book proposes a new ethical framework for sustainable development, which is based on principles of intergenerational equity, environmental stewardship, and social justice.

"Operation Sustainable Human" argues that in order to address the environmental challenges facing humanity, we need to fundamentally rethink our relationship with the natural world and adopt a more holistic and integrated approach to sustainable development. The book calls for a global shift towards a sustainable, circular, and regenerative economy, and outlines a roadmap for how we can achieve this vision.

The book draws on insights from philosophy, economics, and environmental science, as well as case studies from around the world, to explore how we can build a more sustainable and just future for ourselves and for future generations. It is a thought-provoking and inspiring work that challenges readers to think deeply about their own values and responsibilities in the face of the environmental challenges we all face.
