- Denmark is set to achieve 100 per cent renewable energy by 2030.
- Iceland has topped the gender equality rankings for a decade and counting.

The future we want is already here - it's just not evenly distributed. By bringing together for the first time tried and tested solutions to society's most pressing problems, from violence to inequality, Andrew Wear shows that the world we want to live in is already within reach.
