Solutions to the climate crisis tend to fall into two categories: the hope that humanity will change how it operates in time to offset the worst of the damage, and the hope that technology will pull us back from the brink without the need for major structural or societal reform.

This book argues that reliance on technology without such reform risks becoming as divisive as inaction. Those parts of society most responsible for carbon emissions will, largely, be able to take advantage of technological advances to make life bearable, while those least responsible will often be bypassed by them.

Focusing on disparities in access, structural barriers, community-based action, intersectionality and policy and legislation, the book makes recommendations aimed at fostering a fairer and more just distribution of the benefits of green technology.
