In this compelling and authoritative book, Bill Gates lays out a broad, practical — and accessible — plan for how the world will reach zero greenhouse gas emissions in time to avert a global climate catastrophe.

Bill Gates has spent a decade investigating and studying 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 focuses on what needs to be done to stop the planet's slide into a certain ecological catastrophe that cannot be escaped. In this book, he not only explains why we need to work toward net greenhouse gas emissions, but also details what we need to do to achieve this very important goal of keeping humans and the Earth safe.

It gives us a clear and specific description of all the challenges we face in our world today. Drawing on his understanding of innovation and what it takes to bring new ideas to the global market, he describes where technology is already helping to reduce emissions, where and how current technology can be made to work more effectively, and describes how we can survive the inevitable death of people in a runaway event. To our planet where there are advanced technologies. It is working on these fundamental innovations. Finally, he lays out a concrete, actionable plan to achieve the zero emissions goal — not only suggesting policies that governments should adopt, but what we as individuals can do to keep our government, our employers, and ourselves accountable on this important project.

As Bill Gates explains, achieving zero emissions will not be easy or simple, but if we follow the plan he has laid out here, it will be a well-established goal within our reach.
