In this urgent, authoritative book, Bill Gates sets out a wide-ranging, practical—and accessible—plan for how the world can get to zero greenhouse gas emissions in time to avoid a climate catastrophe.
Bill
Gates has spent a decade investigating the causes and effects of
climate change. With the help of experts in the fields of physics,
chemistry, biology, engineering, political science, and finance, he has
focused on what must be done in order to stop the planet's slide to
certain environmental disaster. In this book, he not only explains why
we need to work toward net-zero emissions of greenhouse gases, but also
details what we need to do to achieve this profoundly important goal.
He
gives us a clear-eyed description of the challenges we face. Drawing on
his understanding of innovation and what it takes to get new ideas into
the market, he describes the areas in which technology is already
helping to reduce emissions, where and how the current technology can be
made to function more effectively, where breakthrough technologies are
needed, and who is working on these essential innovations. Finally, he
lays out a concrete, practical plan for achieving the goal of zero
emissions—suggesting not only policies that governments should adopt,
but what we as individuals can do to keep our government, our employers,
and ourselves accountable in this crucial enterprise.
As Bill
Gates makes clear, achieving zero emissions will not be simple or easy
to do, but if we follow the plan he sets out here, it is a goal firmly
within our reach.
