"Solving for Zero: The Search for Climate Innovation is a detailed roadmap for meeting the zero emissions target. Hosted by Bill Gates and based on his New York Times best-selling book, How to Avoid a Climate Disaster, the course focuses on revolutionary developments that give us good reason to believe we have the talent and technologies to escape the worst effects of climate change. More than a primer on climate change and proposed solutions, the 10 informative half-hour lessons get firsthand information from scientists, engineers, and policy makers on the cutting-edge of climate innovation, drawing on interviews with 22 experts in fields ranging from fusion technology to carbon capture to sustainable agriculture. Look around you and imagine the place you are right now three decades in the future. The wood, glass, cement, steel, and plastics, the electricity you use, and the food you eat--all of it could be made and transported in completely new ways with little to no impact on our climate. In other words, the world of the future could look much like that of today, except without contributing to climate change. That hopeful vision is what it means to solve for zero"--Publisher's website.
