‘An equal and habitable world is possible’: academics set out sweeping vision for planetary survival
A global report by the World Inequality Lab outlines policies to address climate change, inequality, and economic instability by proposing wealth taxes, reduced working hours, dietary shifts, and investment in education and health. The report suggests these measures could double the incomes of most people by 2100 while keeping global warming below 2°C. It presents an alternative to extreme political and economic views that prioritize short-term gains over long-term sustainability. The findings aim to inspire collective action toward a more equitable and livable future.
