Environmental Innovation by Jack Buffington, TSCI Program Director and Professor of Practice
We are thrilled to announce the release of a groundbreaking new book by our very own Program Director, Professor of Practice, and Director of Supply Chain and Sustainability, Jack Buffington.
Booklist praises it as "a practical and compelling deep dive into high-level solutions to address climate change, its impact on the economy, and our very survival.”
Environmental Innovation delves into the heart of the challenges facing climate goals and offers achievable solutions to meet these goals by 2050—without sacrificing economic growth. Buffington provides a unique perspective, emphasizing the need to address root cause problems rather than merely symptoms.
Buffington's approach focuses on reducing poverty levels, transforming human systems, and fostering environmental innovation. He highlights opportunities across various sectors such as energy, food systems, water, materials, geopolitics, and ecosystems.
This book offers a comprehensive roadmap for achieving environmental sustainability by 2050, with particular attention to bridging the gap between the rich Global North and the developing Global South.
