Description
In this urgent and authoritative book, Bill Gates presents a wide-ranging, practical, and accessible plan for bringing the world to net-zero greenhouse-gas emissions in time to avoid a climate catastrophe. Drawing on a decade of investigating the causes and effects of climate change, and on the expertise of specialists in physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, political science, and finance, he explains why zero emissions are necessary and what achieving them will require. Gates describes the challenges ahead, the areas in which technology is already reducing emissions, where existing technologies can work more effectively, and where breakthrough innovations are needed. He also examines who is developing these essential solutions. Finally, he sets out a concrete plan involving both government policies and actions individuals can take to hold governments, employers, and themselves accountable. Reaching zero emissions will not be simple or easy, but Gates argues that following this plan makes the goal firmly achievable.
