Sinopse
Climate Change and the Road to Net-Zero is a story of how humanity has broken free from the shackles of poverty, suffering, and war and for the first time in human history, grown both population and prosperity. It’s also a story of how a single species has reconfigured the natural world, repurposed the Earth’s resources, and begun to reengineer the climate. The book uses these conflicting narratives to explore the science, economics, technology, and politics of climate change. Net-Zero blows away the entrenched idea that solving global warming requires a trade-off between the economy and environment, present and future generations, or rich and poor, and reveals why a 20-year transition to a zero-carbon system is a win-win solution for all on planet Earth.
Reviews
"An excellent layman's perspective of the climate problem today, how it has evolved over time, and the different approaches to solving the problem. I recommend it highly." (Mark Z. Jacobson, professor of civil and environmental engineering at Stanford University and author of 100% Clean, Renewable Energy and Storage for Everything)
"The author brings his wide ranging experience of financial markets to add a unique insight to the climate challenge. Revealing why we need a sound understanding of economics, climate science and financial modelling to give us the signals we need to act today." (Mark Campanale, executive chairman of the Carbon Tracker Initiative and founder of the ‘unburnable carbon’ capital markets thesis)
"Provides a clear understanding of the technical complexities of reaching zero carbon. Hampshire-Waugh approaches the subject with intellectual rigour, boundless curiosity, and compelling story telling. A must read for anyone interested in climate change and net-zero." (Vincent Gilles, chief investment officer at Clim8 Invest)
