Description
A THE TIMES BEST SCIENCE AND ENVIRONMENT BOOK OF THE YEAR
ONE OF PROSPECT'S TOP THINKERS 2024
'INCREDIBLE STORIES OF CLIMATE INNOVATIONS WE DON'T HEAR ENOUGH ABOUT' - BILL GATES
'DAZZLING AND DEEPLY REPORTED' - DAVID WALLACE-WELLS
'HIGHLY READABLE . . . ENGAGING STORIES OF PEOPLE BEHIND SOME OF THE MOST IMPORTANT ADVANCES IN RECENT DECADES' - FINANCIAL TIMES
It's now cheaper to save the world than destroy it.
Our age will be defined by the climate emergency. But contrary to the doomist narrative that's taken hold, the world has already begun deploying the solutions needed to deal with it.
On a journey across five continents, Climate Capitalism tracks the unlikely heroes driving the fight against climate change. From the Chinese bureaucrat who did more to make electric cars a reality than Elon Musk, to the Danish students who helped to build the world's longest-operating wind turbine, or the American oil executive building the technology that can reverse climate damages, we meet the people working to scale technologies that are finally able to bend the emissions curve.
Through stories that bring people, policy, and technology together, Akshat Rathi reveals how the green economy is not only possible, but profitable. This inspiring blend of business, science, and history provides the framework for ensuring that future generations can live in prosperity and that the wheels of progress don't falter.
