How to Avoid a Climate Disaster

預防下一場疫病大流行發生成為各國重要議題。Bill Gates以世界級專家的知識與蓋茲基金會對抗重大疾病的經驗為基礎，深入淺出解析傳染病，並提出國與國之間，政府與民間單位聯手合作，不只能阻擋下一場疫病，更有機會消滅所有呼吸道相關疾病。A new book by Bill Gates that lays out a clear plan to prevent future pandemics The COVID-19 pandemic isn't over. But even as governments around the world try to get it under control, they're also starting to talk about what happens next. How can we prevent another pandemic from killing millions of people and devastating the global economy? Can we even hope to accomplish this? Bill Gates believes the answer is yes, and he has written a largely upbeat book that lays out clearly and convincingly what the world should learn from COVID-19, explains the science of fighting pandemics, and suggests what all of us can do to help prevent another one. Given the worldwide success of How to Avoid a Climate Disaster (which debuted at #1 on the New York Times best seller list), Gates is more respected than ever for his approach to solving the world's biggest challenges.

全新修訂給政府、企業、個人的淨零轉型全方位指南比爾 · 蓋茲親筆揭露改變未來的新思考、新科技與新經濟「我寫這本書不只是因為看到氣候變遷的問題，還因為我看到了解決問題的機會。」啟發商業世界全面投入新經濟的革命性巨作已售出全球數十多國版權掌握減排技術就能掌握商機，哪些創新最能助推淨零轉型？能源成本竟然比產品主原料還高，科技節能怎麼做？突破再生能源間歇特性，從儲能到精準用電最值得關注的新科技有哪些？拯救地球氣候出現救星？發展氫能需具備什麼能力？現有核能發電與核融合大不同？為什麼核融合值得期待？一本書揭示不同產業的淨零排放商機，看清未來ESG投資機會。如果淨碳排不歸零，你我擁有的一切可能隨時歸零！我們必須在2050年之前實現淨零碳排放，未來10年，沒有比投身這個遠大目標更重要的事了。2023 年1 月，立法院三讀通過攸關台灣未來30年發展的《氣候變遷因應法》，台灣成為亞洲少數將氣候治理法制化，並將實施碳定價的國家。但究竟2050淨零排放該如何達成？又如何在淨零轉型的同時，創造重大商機？ 在這本書中，比爾．蓋茲將告訴你：經濟成長和淨零創新的新交集是什麼。他提出一套涵蓋層面極廣、但每一步都切實可行的計畫，希望把溫室氣體排放量全面減到零，挽救人類免於一場迎面而來的氣候浩劫。比爾．蓋茲花了十多年潛心研究氣候變遷的原因與效應，在物理、化學、生物、工程、政治、金融等各領域專家的協助下，努力尋找阻止地球失速滑向環境災難的方法。在這本書中，他深入淺出地解釋了為什麼我們別無選擇，一定要努力減到淨零排放，也詳細說明要達到這個重大目標，哪些是我們非做不可的事。書中清晰描述了人類所面臨的艱巨挑戰，清楚指出在哪些方面目前科技已有零碳方案、哪些領域的現有科技該如何發揮更大效益，還有哪裡需要創新的技術突破，又是哪些人在從事這些重要研究。最後，他提出一套以全面減到零排放為目標的具體可行計畫，從政府的政策、企業的行為，到個人可以採取的行動，為全面減到零排放的艱巨任務帶來新希望。誠如比爾．蓋茲在書中一再強調，全面減到零排放不是一件容易的事，但只要能遵循書中所提出的計畫，目標雖難，一切仍在掌握之中。

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 i

In this #1 New York Times best-selling book, Bill Gates sets out a wide-ranging, practical, and accessible plan to bring the world's greenhouse gas emissions down to zero in time to avoid a climate catastrophe.Bill Gates has spent a decade investigating the causes and effects of climate change. With the help of experts in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, political science, and finance, he has focused on what must be done in order to stop the planet's slide to certain environmental disaster. In this book, he not only explains why we need to work toward net-zero emissions of greenhouse gases but also details what we need to do to achieve this profoundly important goal.He gives us a clear-eyed description of the challenges we face. Drawing on his understanding of innovation and what it takes to get new ideas into the market, he describes the areas in which technology is already helping to reduce emissions, where and how the current technology can be made to function

In this urgent, authoritative book, Bill Gates sets out a wide-ranging, practical - and accessible - plan for how the world can get to zero greenhouse gas emissions in time to avoid a climate catastro
