Second Edition

In this powerful book, a renowned environmental leader warns that despite all the international negotiations of the past two decades, efforts to protect Earth’s environment are not succeeding. He explains why this is so and presents eight specific steps that governments and citizens can take to achieve a sustainable future. For this new paperback edition the author has added an Afterword that brings the narrative up to date.

“Gus Speth brought global environmental concerns to the world’s attention nearly a quarter of a century ago. His extraordinary new book is an impassioned plea to take these issues seriously before it is too late. We owe it to our children and grandchildren to read Red Sky at Morning and take action while we can.”— Jimmy Carter, former President of the United States

“The ultimate insider offers a devastating critique of global environmental efforts.”—Eugene Linden, Time

“A profoundly sobering study . . . of the nation’s failure to address the probability of global warming.”—New York Times Book Review

“Balanced and pragmatic.”—Economist

“A particularly useful summary. . . . Careful and judicious.”—Bill McKibben, New York Review of Books

“‘The Best’ . . . in the tradition of Silent Spring.”—Sky
