Book launch: “A Planet to Win"

Kate Aronoff, Alyssa Battistoni, Daniel Aldana Cohen, and Thea Riofrancos in conversation around their new book, "A Planet to Win."

What could a radical Green New Deal look like, and how can we connect the politics of a Green New Deal with the fight for economic and racial justice?

Moderated by New Republic staff writer Osita Nwanevu.

"A Planet to WinWhy We Need a Green New Deal" explores the political potential and concrete first steps of a Green New Deal. It calls for dismantling the fossil fuel industry and building beautiful landscapes of renewable energy, guaranteeing climatefriendly work and nocarbon housing and free public transit. And it shows how a Green New Deal in the United States can strengthen climate justice movements worldwide. A Planet to Win is on sale
