“It’s easy to feel powerless in the face of a problem as big as climate change. But you’re not powerless. And you don’t have to be a politician or a philanthropist to make a difference.” – Bill Gates

Join Bill Gates as he gives us an antidote to the gloomier forecasts of impending climate disaster at this live conversation to celebrate the launch of his new book, How To Avoid a Climate Disaster: The Solutions We Have and the Breakthroughs We Need.

Bill Gates has spent a decade investigating the causes and effects of climate change, working with experts in the fields of physics, chemistry, biology, engineering, political science and finance, he has focussed on what must be done in order to stop the planet’s slide toward certain environmental disaster.

In this exclusive UK event, he will share his wide-ranging, practical and accessible plans for how the world can get to zero greenhouse gas emissions, and give a clear-eyed description of the challenges we face. Drawing on his understanding of innovation, hear his thoughts on how the current technology can be made to function more effectively, and what breakthrough technologies are needed.

Join us for a positive and practical discussion, and don’t miss your opportunity to submit your own questions for the chair to put to Bill.

All tickets to this livestream event include a copy of Bill’s urgent, authoritative new book, How To Avoid A Climate Disaster: The Solutions We Have and the Breakthroughs We Need, SUPPLIED IN PARTNERSHIP WITH WATERSTONES.

This livestream event is held in partnership with How To Academy.
