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 toward 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.
