We’re seeing a lot of new plans at the moment, from Nick Stern’s new book to the CBI’s roadmap to a low-carbon economy.
An easy way to start checking whether these reflect our need to "shift our cultural assumptions to fit our circumstances and move into a more fulfilling, lower-energy world" is to keep the Transition Timeline scenarios in mind. These scenarios look at what might happen if we DO recognise the science of climate change, but DON’T change our culture, and the economic and other institutions that reflect it (Hitting the Wall) and vice versa (The Impossible Dream).
