*As you read this summary, you will learn how several scientists, policy makers and environmental activists are proposing to save the planet by setting up a new environmental agenda that combines political, economic, social and climate interests.


*You will also learn : that economic and social justice goes hand in hand with climate justice; how the fight against climate change results in the deaths of hundreds of people every year; that capitalism is incompatible with environmental issues; that a 2018 IPCC report has shaken international bodies and some governments; that the Green New Deal would promote the creation of thousands of jobs.


*And what if saving the planet required the implementation of a political and social plan imagined in 1933? This program, the "Green New Deal," would be inspired by the measures applied in the United States by Franklin D. Roosevelt after the Great Depression. Such a strategy was born among environmentalists, scientists and certain politicians who fought against the financial powers that put their profits ahead of the common good. It would not only save the Earth, but also rethink a social and economic model that is today a vector of inequality. In a world ruled by money and profits, is it still possible to save the planet?
