To deal with the climate crisis we need a new paradigm of technological and social development aimed at the restoration of ecological systems-the bio-digital energy paradigm. How do we get to this paradigm? The book draws on more than 250 interviews across 17 key countries to present a practical answer this question. We need a strong state to lead. There are four possible leaders-the EU, US, China and India. China is best placed to lead. It is building
experimental cities like eco-cities and sponge cities out of which could grow the climate survival governance that the world badly needs.
