My question is that why the auxiliary verb WON'T in the subordinate clause has been changed into didn't rather than wouldn't? Build Gender Equality (especially in the third world countries, to break the poverty cycle and reduce population) We can use the present continuous for plans or arrangements, and we use "be going to" to talk about plans or intentions.

This book is a book of hope in an uncertain time. It invites one to an adventure against overwhelming odds. Don't fixate on Gross Domestic Product, which doesn't take into account externalities like pollution and look to the Happy Planet Index for true economic health. Urbanization is often discussed in reference to countries that are currently in the process of industrializing and urbanizing, but all industrialized nations have experienced urbanization at some point in their history. Moreover, urbanization is on the rise all over the globe.

A cautionary but optimistic book about the world’s changing climate and the fate of humanity, from Christiana Figueres and Tom Rivett-Carnac—who led negotiations for the United Nations during the historic Paris Agreement of 2015. The Future We Choose is a climate change manifesto. Science have proved over and over again that if no radical actions are taken on top of promises made in the Paris Agreement, the world will be 3c warmer by 2100. If the world can't reach carbon neutral by 2050, all hopes will be lost. The goal is to reach carbon neutral by 2050 so that the global temperature will only be 1.5c warmer by 2100. First and foremost this is a goal for the world as a whole, including every nation on every continent. The demise of the human species is being discussed more and more. For many, the only uncertainty is how long we’ll last, how many more generations will see the light of day. Suicides are the most obvious manifestation of the prevailing despair, but there are other indications: a sense of bottomless loss, unbearable guilt and fierce resentment at previous generations who didn’t do what was necessary to ward off this unstoppable calamity.

In general, 'going to' is the best form to use here since this appears to be a question about a plan. We don't use 'will' to talk about plans in this way. This book recommends ten climate actions that move us away from fossil fuels and towards a fairer economic system. But it turns out that these alternate future scenarios form only a small part of the book. They serve really as the attention-getting prelude to the remainder of the book, which is based on largely the same listless call to action which fills the rest of the shelves in the ecological section. The does provide a bit of motivation and ideas as to small steps each one of us can take individually. But on the whole I found it to be an impassioned yet weak call to action through voices of peacemongers who drone the same message of "change now" that you can find in hundreds of other books.Whats missing in this book is economics. Circular economy is mentioned in passing but the neoclassical theme is still there. Doughnut Economics for me was much more useful. Did any of the people who gave quoted for this book actually read it? The mention of a bomb on a subway stop at the 2015 Paris Agreement is not referenced and nowhere can I find information on it. Anyone who knows of an article, police report on it please share. The world population has grown significantly and our economies have become more industrialized over the past few hundred years. As a result, many more people have moved into cities. This process is known as urbanization. Even after cities emerged, however, a large majority of people lived and worked in rural areas. It was not until large-scale industrialization began in the eighteenth century that cities really began to boom. Nearly half of all people now live in urban areas. They are attracted by jobs in manufacturing and the professions, as well as by increased opportunities for education and entertainment. Secondly, the pandemic undermines the intended optimistic message. How can politicians and individuals make climate change our first priority right now? We exist within global, regional, national, and local contexts constrained by a dangerous virus. I anticipate with huge interest and some dread the carbon emissions data for 2020. Interest because massive falls in flying, disruption of industry, and falls in other activities could cause falls in emissions; dread because I fear they will be insufficient and transient. Moreover, the data will be harder to collect and potentially less reliable this year. There is also the massive exacerbation of wealth inequality that the pandemic is causing, which is not only incredibly worrying in itself but will also have significant effects on politics and policy priorities. There is a calm certainty to the tone of 'The Future We Choose' that is unsuited to our chaotic and unpredictable reality. Apart from anything else, if and when Trump recovers from covid-19 will have a massive impact on the whole world. Feeling optimistic about the future and asserting influence over it are much more difficult now than they were last year. At the moment, certainly in the UK, it feels like this is coronavirus' world and we're just trying to survive in it. I don't imagine things are much better in many other countries, but do not know as I've been deliberately limiting my news access. Unfortunately Trump is impossible to avoid. Figueres said she was initially concerned that Al Jaber would work to protect his nation’s interests rather than fulfilling his mandate of focusing on global collaboration. But more recently, she has developed more confidence in him as a leader.
