The Gates Foundation’s initial goal was to promote universal access to electricity. But as the climate emergency became apparent, he shifted the focus to fighting climate change. Gates being a self-proclaimed technologist, his approach to the climate crisis had to be technological. His book “How to Avoid a Climate Disaster” analyzes how to decarbonize all sectors of the economy (electricity, transportation, heating, agriculture, industry,…) and describes all possible solutions.
The main idea of the book is the “Green Premium”. In almost all activities, green technologies are more expensive than polluting ones. Therefore, if we want climate-friendly technologies to conquer the market, the difference in price (the green premium) must be reduced through substantial investments in R&D.
A broad citizens’ movement is needed to force governments to ensure that the general interest prevails over the interests of the fossil fuel industry. And for a fair economic policy to be adopted and implemented to accelerate the energy transition.

Summer is a great time to read, but choosing new readings is sometimes complicated. So, it may be interesting to take note of some of the five books that billionaire Bill Gates has recommended for this summer through his Gates Notes portal.
The Microsoft co-founder is a big fan of books about U.S. presidents, but he confesses that Barack Obama’s memoirs particularly interested him. “President Obama is unusually honest about his experience in the White House, including how isolating it is to be the person who ultimately makes the decisions. It’s a fascinating look at what it’s like to lead a country through difficult times,” Gates notes of the book. 4. The Importance of Forests The Overstory, by Richard Powers.
Bill Gates confesses that this book is one of the most unusual novels he has ever read. The Overstory makes a case for the importance of protecting forests, a goal it achieves through the connection of nine people and their connection to trees. “I was moved by each character’s passion for their cause and finished the book eager to learn more about trees,” says the philanthropist. 5. An Elegant Defense: The Extraordinary New Science of the Immune System: A Tale in Four Lives, by Matt Richtel
