»Der Klimawandel ist ein einzigartiges globales Problem, das wir nur gemeinsam lösen können.« Bill Gates
Seit über einem Jahrzehnt beschäftigt sich Bill Gates mit dem Klimawandel. In seinem Hörbuch erklärt er, wie es gelingen kann, die schlimmsten Auswirkungen der Klimakrise zu verhindern. Denn die globale Erwärmung wird laut Gates die Menschen am härtesten treffen, die sie am wenigsten verursacht haben. Er ist überzeugt, dass wir den CO2-Ausstoß radikal reduzieren können, indem wir weltweit in Forschung investieren, neue Technologien entwickeln und sie schnell und in großem Maßstab einsetzen. Ein optimistischer Weckruf mit konkreten Lösungen und Handlungsempfehlungen von einem der klügsten Köpfe der Welt.
