In this urgent, singularly authoritative book, Bill Gates sets out a wide-ranging, practical--and accessible--plan for how the world can get to zero greenhouse gas emissions in time to avoid an irreversible climate catastrophe.
Bill Gates has spent a decade investigating the causes and effects of climate change. With the help and guidance of experts in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, political science and finance, he has focused on exactly what must be done in order to stop the planet's slide toward certain environmental disaster. In this book, he not only gathers together all the information we need to fully grasp how important it is that we work toward net-zero emissions of greenhouse gases but also details exactly what we need to do to achieve this profoundly important goal.
He gives us a clear-eyed description of the challenges we face. He describes the areas in which technology is already helping to reduce emissions; where and how the current technology can be made to function more effectively; where breakthrough technologies are needed, and who is working on these essential innovations. Finally, he lays out a concrete plan for achieving the goal of zero emissions--suggesting not only policies that governments should adopt, but what we as individuals can do to keep our government, our employers and ourselves accountable in this crucial enterprise.
As Bill Gates makes clear, achieving zero emissions will not be simple or easy to do, but by following the guidelines he sets out here, it is a goal firmly within our reach.

"De tout temps, des maladies se sont propagées entre les humains ; elles ne sont pas pour autant vouées à dégénérer en catastrophes mondiales. Ce livre détaille ce que les gouvernements, les scientifiques, les entreprises et les citoyens peuvent faire pour contenir les inévitables foyers épidémiques avant qu’ils ne se transforment en pandémies.
C’est le moment d’agir. Le Covid-19 restera, pour toutes celles et ceux qui l’ont vécu, ancré dans les mémoires. La génération de mes parents a changé de perspective après la Seconde Guerre mondiale et, de la même manière, le Covid-19 a changé notre perspective sur le monde.
Malgré tout, nous ne sommes pas condamnés à vivre dans la crainte d’une nouvelle pandémie. Nous pouvons procurer des soins de base à tous les habitants de la planète, tout en nous préparant à intervenir face aux maladies émergentes.
Chaque chapitre de ce livre explique une à une les étapes à mettre en œuvre pour être prêts le moment venu. L’ensemble forme une stratégie qui vise à ce que les pandémies ne soient plus une menace pour l’humanité et à ce que personne d’autre ne traverse une crise comme celle du Covid-19."
