Britain has declared a "climate emergency" and has pledged to become carbon neutral by 2050. How can we achieve this? Chris Goodall analyzes the actions, policies, and technologies that are already emerging around the world, identifying ways to accomplish this. His suggestions include:

• Creating excess capacity of wind and solar energy, storing the surplus as hydrogen.
• Using hydrogen to power trains, ships, boilers, and heavy industry, while electrifying buses, trucks, and cars.
• Changing agriculture and diet by promoting plant-based alternatives to meat and paying farmers for the care and maintenance of forests.
• Making fashion sustainable and having aviation cover its costs by funding synthetic fuels and genuine offsets.
• Using technical solutions to capture CO2 from the air and biochar for carbon storage in the soil.

"What We Need To Do Now" is an urgent, practical, and inspiring book that signifies a Green New Deal for Britain.
