The green transformation is different from previous transformations in one critical respect: urgency. This is the first transformation in history to be achieved against a deadline. Hence the question in the title: is there a fast track?
This paper seeks answers by addressing five sub-questions: what, why, how, who, and when? Section 2 asks what the problem is. Section 3 asks why this problem needs urgent attention and reflects on how robust the call for urgent action is. Section 4 asks what we know on how transformations occur. Section 5 asks who can be expected to drive the transformation forward. Section 6 asks when the green transformation is most likely to occur. The concluding section then returns to the overall question posed in the title of this paper. Since this is the final chapter of the book it also draws together elements of preceding chapters.
