FIVE REASONS THE WORLD WILL NOT END

  • This book presents five ways out of many current crises: practical solutions instead of posing new questions.
  • The author belongs to one of 100 Young Global Leaders under forty.

Innovative projects that offer a way out of major crises.

Wherever we look, there are problems: a planet in crisis, an economy changing too slowly, societies divided. And in the midst of it all, there are people who often feel overwhelmed. This book demonstrates that there is ample reason for hope, and that we can even be excited about the future – excited to be a part of shaping it.

Progress is happening, even though it may often seem like the climate crisis is unstoppable. Progress is taking place, for instance, in rural Egypt, where Helmi Abouleish and his family have successfully established Demeter farming in the desert, and in Singapore, where Good Meat is revolutionizing our food with lab-grown meat.

Florian Hoffmann takes us through innovative projects worldwide that serve as models for a better future, as change at a small scale can set the stage for larger transformations.
