Description
Introduction · · · · · ·
Bill Gates has spent a decade investigating the causes and effects of climate change. With the support of experts in physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, politics and economics, he is focused on exploring new technologies to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
In this book, Bill Gates analyzes the challenges of zero emissions, the technical tools that can be used, and the technological breakthroughs we need from the perspectives of major carbon emission areas such as electricity, manufacturing, agriculture, and transportation, and provides a set of action plans that are extensive but feasible at every step.
On the future of mankind
To stop global warming and avoid the worst effects of climate change, humans need to stop emitting greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
About Technological Innovation
Whether in the past or now, zero emissions have a solid logical basis, but achieving the goal of zero emissions must be driven by innovation.
About investment opportunities
The "zero-carbon" industry is a huge economic opportunity, and countries that can make breakthroughs in this field will be the ones that lead the global economy in the next decade or so.
As Bill Gates repeatedly emphasizes in the book, achieving zero emissions is not easy, but if we follow the plan he gives, this goal will be achieved. Whether you are a policy maker, an entrepreneur, or an ordinary citizen busy making a living, you can contribute to help the world avoid climate disaster.
