How to Avoid a Climate Disaster

The Solutions We Have and the Breakthroughs We Need
Book • 2019
In 'How to Avoid a Climate Disaster,' Bill Gates presents a detailed plan for eliminating greenhouse gas emissions, drawing from over a decade of his research and investment in climate change solutions.

The book is organized into five parts, starting with the necessity of achieving zero emissions rather than just reducing them.

Gates discusses the challenges in achieving this goal, provides practical questions to evaluate climate change conversations, and analyzes current and future technologies that can help mitigate climate change.

He advocates for increased innovation in clean energy, including nuclear power, and emphasizes the importance of reducing the 'green premium' – the additional cost of green energy.

The book also outlines specific steps for governments, market participants, and individuals to take in order to collectively avoid a climate disaster.
