Path to Zero

Tucker Perkins' Path to Zero shows how we can reverse climate change and create a cleaner environment for future generations by putting aside our biases and working together for change.

Climate catastrophe-inspired narratives like Electrify Everything! have a grip on people's minds. The simplicity of the solution to the most complex endeavour ever faced by humans—the journey to a net zero future—is seductive, but it is fundamentally flawed.

In Path to Zero: 12 Climate Conversations That Changed the World, author Tucker Perkins takes readers on a series of future-casting journeys from the Year 2050 back to the present day to show us how a better way—a wide path to net zero carbon emissions—was, and can be, achieved in an accelerated time frame.

In this work, Perkins uncovers an array of practical, often obvious, measures the world can take to achieve a better, cleaner future inclusive of energy and power. Unlike other authors and voices of this age, Perkins shows us that change is possible, innovation is happening, and dogmatic devotion to singular solutions is one of the biggest impediments to progress.
