From the increasing popularity of electric cars to the investment pouring into renewable energy, and from the focus on sustainable farming to eliminating fast fashion, the climate and environmental crisis is rapidly changing the way many of our industries operate, with companies around the world determined to prove their green credentials.

There are creative initiatives aplenty - but are any of them actually having an effect? Are companies really as green as they claim? Or is the complexity of the global economy hindering our efforts? After all, globalisation has made it difficult to keep an eye on every stage of a supply chain; corporations are still focussed on their bottom line; consumer habits are hard to change; and government policy can seem wildly out of kilter with their stated aims.

Dharshini David takes us around the world to explain what is really happening in our global industries, from fuel to finance, in the push towards a circular economy. She reveals the biggest factors driving change and the challenges we urgently need to overcome if we’re to create a truly sustainable future.

The Eco Dollar is a vibrant and illuminating work that shows us how the global green economy works, who holds the power - and what that means for us all at this vital turning point in our earth and economy’s story.
