What if the solution to the climate crisis is . . . capitalism? Our
age will be defined by the climate emergency. But contrary to the
doomist narrative that's taken hold, the world has already begun
deploying the solutions needed to deal with it. On a journey across
five continents, Climate Capitalism tracks the unlikely heroes
driving the fight against climate change. From the Chinese
bureaucrat who did more to make electric cars a reality than Elon
Musk, to the Danish students who helped to build the world's
longest-operating wind turbine, or the American oil executive
building the technology that can reverse climate damages, we meet
the people working to scale technologies that are finally able to
bend the emissions curve. Through stories that bring people, policy
and technology together, Akshat Rathi reveals how the green economy
is not only possible, but profitable. This inspiring blend of
business, science, and history provides the framework for ensuring
that future generations can live in prosperity and that the wheels
of progress don't falter.
What if the solution to the climate crisis is . . . capitalism? The
solutions to overcome the global climate crisis already exist, and
contrary to the belief that we're all doomed, we will continue to
prosper. We have now entered the third major transition since the
industrial revolutions: from wood to coal to oil, the world now
turns towards clean energy. This is a $35 trillion industry. In
Climate Capitalism, award-winning journalist Akshat Rathi unveils
ten key breakthroughs in green economy, with extraordinary case
studies of how people have turned world-changing ideas into
reality. From east to west, from solar power in India to hydrogen
strategies in Denmark and Germany, carbon capture in Norway and the
United States, electric car manufacturing in China and the most
advanced climate law in the UK - this is the story of our fight to
survive. A new economic age has begun, are you ready for it?
From Asia to Africa, Oceania to Europe, the Americas and
Antarctica, see the world through the eyes of 60 young people who

climate change. The stories in this book are devastating, defiant,

climate crisis can feel overwhelming but, as this book shows, for
every problem there are young voices raising awareness, creating
solutions and demanding that things change. It's not too late to
save the world. United we really are unstoppable. Aditya Mukarji
(16) stopped 26 million straws from polluting the oceans. Cecilia
La Rose (15) filed a lawsuit against the Canadian federal
