Making Climate Tech Work

Policies That Drive Innovation

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

"Climate tech is critical for averting planetary chaos. Half the greenhouse gas reductions required to reach "net-zero" climate targets in 2050 will need to come from technologies that have not yet been invented. Making Climate Tech Work is an insightful analysis of how smart government policies can make those technologies a reality. Which approaches can lead us to a sustainable economy, and which are likely to fall short? Learn how Denmark became a wind energy superpower, Germany incentivized renewables, Australia phased out incandescent bulbs, and why carbon taxes have failed around the world - but could be designed for success. Alon Tal expertly distills each policy's benefits and drawbacks, along with related ethical questions and public perceptions. The result is an essential primer for anyone interested in accelerating climate tech solutions."--
