Summary:

The planet was once seen as limitless, much like the idea of progress that viewed nature as something to conquer. The climate crisis has proven this view wrong, as rising global temperatures from greenhouse gases pose systemic risks to the economy and financial systems. Advancing the energy transition is crucial, and financing is key. Delaying action endangers the future, demanding changes in economic policy and regulatory frameworks. The process is irreversible, driven by technological, institutional, and consumer changes. However, vested interests and disinformation complicate progress. A multidisciplinary approach is needed to understand the transition and the influence of power on decision-making.
