Alan Moore, author, craftsman, innovator, Founder, Design School for Beautiful Business The eco-tech revolution, which now needs to be driven forward at a scale and a speed that few even begin to comprehend, is absolutely necessary to the survival of humankind into the next century. But it is absolutely not sufficient. With his deep knowledge and decades of first-hand experience, Trond Arne Undheim helps his readers navigate their way through this fascinating and increasingly controversial territory.

John R. Ehrenfeld, author of The Right Way To Flourish, and former Director of the MIT Program on Technology, Business, and Environment This remarkable book looks beyond policies and technology to the wider range of changes in individual conduct, and in the organization of society that may be needed to meet the existential challenge of climate change and of the destruction of nature and imagines a range of outcomes. James G. Wilson, Lord Moran, Chairman and Managing Partner, Source2 Investing in an ecologically sustainable future can be immensely rewarding for the investor and for the planet.
