The Superpower book series
The Superpower book series, authored and edited by Ross Garnaut, provides a comprehensive exploration of Australia’s potential to lead the global transition to a zero-carbon economy.
The books offer both visionary roadmaps and practical plans to harness Australia’s rich renewable energy resources and scientific expertise, turning climate action into economic advantage. Together, they highlight how early and decisive action on climate change can transform Australia into a thriving, sustainable economic superpower.
