“Our nation – and our world –face a “perfect storm” of economic and environmental crises that threaten not only the global economy, but life on Earth.

These looming crises and questions facing us are historically unique. The fate of humanity is in our hands. It’s not just a question of what kind of world we want, but whether we have a world where we can survive.
