|aIn this urgent, authoritative book, Bill Gates sets out a wide-ranging,practical - and accessible - plan for how the world can get to zerogreenhouse gas emissions in time to avoid a climate catastrophe. Bill Gateshas 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 bedone 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-zeroemissions of greenhouse gases, but also details what we need to do toachieve this profoundly important goal. He gives us a clear-eyed descriptionof the challenges we face. Drawing on his understanding of innovation andwhat it takes to get new ideas into the market, he describes the areas inwhich technology is already helping to reduce emissions, where and how thecurrent technology can be made to function more effectively, wherebreakthrough technologies are needed, and who is working on these essentialinnovations. Finally, he lays out a concrete, practical plan for achievingthe goal of zero emissions - suggesting not only policies that governmentsshould adopt, but what we as individuals can do to keep our government, ouremployers, and ourselves accountable in this crucial enterprise. As BillGates makes clear, achieving zero emissions will not be simple or easy todo, but if we follow the plan he sets out here, it is a goal firmly withinour reach. --|cFrom dust jacket.
