Las soluciones que ya tenemos y los avances que a n necesitamos

En este libro urgente y necesario Bill Gates propone un plan amplio, pr ctico --y comprensible-- para conseguir que el mundo llegue a cero emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero para as evitar una cat strofe clim tica.

Bill Gates ha pasado una d cada investigando las causas y efectos del cambio clim tico. Con la ayuda de expertos en los campos de la f sica, la qu mica, la biolog a, la ingenier a, las ciencias pol ticas y las finanzas, se ha centrado en investigar exactamente qu se debe hacer para detener la deriva del planeta hacia un desastre ambiental. En este libro, adem s de explicar por qu debemos esforzarnos en lograr emisiones netas cero de gases de efecto invernadero, tambi n detalla lo que debemos hacer para lograr este objetivo tan importante.

Gates nos presenta una descripci n clara de los desaf os que enfrentamos. A partir de su conocimiento sobre innovaci n y lo que se requiere para introducir nuevas ideas en el mercado, describe las reas en las que la tecnolog a ya est ayudando a reducir las emisiones, d nde y c mo la tecnolog a actual puede funcionar de manera m s eficaz, d nde es necesario desarrollar tecnolog as de punta, y qui n est trabajando en estas innovaciones esenciales. Finalmente, presenta un plan concreto y pr ctico para lograr el objetivo de cero emisiones, sugiriendo no solo las pol ticas que los gobiernos deber an adoptar, sino lo que nosotros, como individuos, podemos hacer para que nuestro gobierno, nuestros empleadores y nosotros mismos nos responsabilicemos esta crucial iniciativa. Como deja claro Bill Gates, llegar a cero emisiones no ser sencillo ni f cil, pero si seguimos el plan que aqu propone, es una meta que se encuentra decididamente a nuestro alcance.

"Para detener el calentamiento global y evitar los peores efectos del cambio clim tico, los humanos deben dejar de agregar gases de efecto invernadero a la atm sfera. Si nada cambia, el mundo seguir produciendo gases de efecto invernadero, el cambio clim tico seguir empeorando y el impacto en los seres humanos con toda probabilidad ser catastr fico.
Pero las cosas pueden cambiar. Este libro trata sobre lo que se necesitar para lograrlo y por qu estoy convencido de que podemos hacerlo." -- Bill Gates

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION

Bill Gates shares what he's learned in more than a decade of studying climate change and investing in innovations to address the problems, and sets out a vision for how the world can build the tools it needs to get to zero greenhouse gas emissions.

Bill Gates explains why he cares so deeply about climate change and what makes him optimistic that the world can avoid the most dire effects of the climate crisis. Gates says, We can work on a local, national, and global level to build the technologies, businesses, and industries to avoid the worst impacts of climate change. His interest in climate change is a natural outgrowth of the efforts by his foundation to reduce poverty and disease. Climate change, according to Gates, will have the biggest impact on the people who have done the least to cause it. As a technologist, he has seen firsthand how innovation can change the world. By investing in research, inventing new technologies, and by deploying them quickly at large scale, Gates believes climate change can be addressed in meaningful ways. According to Gates, to prevent the worst effects of climate change, we have to get to net-zero emissions of greenhouse gases. This problem is urgent, and the debate is complex, but I believe we can come together to invent new carbon-zero technologies, deploy the ones we have, and ultimately avoid a climate catastrophe.
