Damaging human impacts on the environment go beyond climate breakdown to encompass most other natural systems - from soil to biodiversity. The current economic model drives this breakdown, and many of its underpinning assumptions, policies and narratives act as barriers to change. In their article for the Institute for Public Policy Research, Laurie Laybourn-Langton and Tom Hill call for a new social model that makes societies more sustainable, just, and prepared, by bringing human activity within environmentally sustainable limits while narrowing inequality, improving quality of life, and becoming better prepared for the consequences of environmental breakdown.
