About the book

World leaders have promised everything to everyone. But they are failing. The UN’s Sustainable Development Goals are supposed to be delivered by 2030. The goals literally promise everything, like eradicating poverty, hunger and disease; stopping war and climate change, ending corruption, fixing education along with countless other promises. This year, the world is at halftime for its promises, but nowhere near halfway.

About the book

We live in an age of fear – particularly a fear of climate change. Children line the streets in protest, while adults wonder whether it’s ethical to start a family. Activists warn us that the planet faces ‘slaughter, death, and starvation,’ and Time magazine tells readers to ‘Be worried. Be very worried.’ A 2019 poll found that almost half of the world’s population believes climate change will likely end the human race.
