Planet Under Pressure: How to Save the Next Century

The coming century will be defined by how societies respond to environmental strain. Planet Under Pressure examines the forces stressing Earth’s systems—and the pathways that still remain open.
This book looks at climate change, resource depletion, biodiversity loss, and pollution as interconnected pressures rather than isolated crises. Readers gain insight into how these challenges compound one another and why fragmented solutions fall short.
The narrative emphasizes preparedness and choice. Science, policy, technology, and behavior must align to reduce risk and build resilience. Solutions are framed as directional—progress measured by trajectory, not perfection.
Rather than predicting collapse, the book focuses on agency. The next century is shaped by decisions made now, across energy, consumption, governance, and education.
Key focus areas include:
• Interconnected environmental pressures
• Long-term risk and resilience planning
• System-level solutions for sustainability
• Role of policy, innovation, and behavior
• Shaping outcomes through present action
Planet Under Pressure offers a clear-eyed view of what is at stake—and what is possible—showing how informed choices today determine the world inherited tomorrow.
