In this urgent and authoritative book, Bill Gates presents a wide, practical, and accessible plan for how the world can reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions in time to avoid a climate disaster. Bill Gates has dedicated a decade to researching 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 needs to be done to stop the planet's descent into a certain environmental catastrophe.

In this book, he explains not only why we must aim for net-zero greenhouse gas emissions but also in detail what we need to do to achieve this definitive goal. He provides a clear description of the challenges we face. Leveraging his understanding of innovation and what it takes to bring new ideas to market, he describes the areas where technology is already helping to reduce emissions, where and how existing technology can work more effectively, where breakthrough technologies are needed, and who is working on these necessary innovations.

Finally, he analyzes a specific, practical plan to achieve the goal of zero emissions - suggesting not only policies that governments should adopt but also what we as individuals can do to hold governments, our employers, and ourselves accountable in this crucial endeavor. As Bill Gates makes clear, achieving zero emissions will not be simple or easy, but if we follow the plan he outlines here, it is a goal that is certainly within our reach.
