比爾·蓋茨的一本關於氣候變化的新書「如何避免氣候災難」將於今天在網上和書店發售。
比爾·蓋茲一直關注氣候議題。在他研究能源和氣候變化的15年間，他看到了令人振奮的進展。來自太陽和風能的可再生能源的成本已經大幅下降，公眾比以往任何時候都更支持採取重大措施來避免氣候災難，世界各地的政府和公司都在制定長遠的減排目標。
他認為我們正處於一個關鍵時刻。我們現在需要的是一個計劃，將所有這些動力轉化為實現我們大目標的實際步驟。而這正正是這本書的目的，詳細說明實現這一極為重要的目標所需要做的事情。
在本書中，比爾·蓋茲會解釋為何這議題對我們至為重要，分析為何我們需要全力以零碳排為目標，並提出切實可行的計劃方案，社會動員擔起共同責任。
氣候行動，匹夫有責。解決方案，需要政府、企業，和你我的參與！

[Book Recommendation: How to Avoid A Climate Disaster]A new book on climate change by Bill Gates, “How to Avoid A Climate Disaster”, will be available today online and in bookstores.
Bill Gates has been concerned about climate issues. He has seen exciting progress in the more than 15 years that he has been learning about energy and climate change. The cost of renewable energy from the sun and wind has dropped dramatically. There’s more public support for taking big steps to avoid a climate disaster than ever before. And governments and companies around the world are setting ambitious goals for reducing emissions.
He believes we’re at a crucial moment. What we need now is a plan that turns all this momentum into practical steps to achieve our big goals; and that is exactly the purpose of this book, to explain in detail what needs to be done to achieve this very important goal.
In this book, Bill Gates explains why the climate issue is so important to us, analyses why we need to aim for zero carbon emissions with all our effort and proposes practical plans and solutions, which requires community mobilisation to take joint responsibility.
Climate action is the responsibility of every human being. The solution requires the participation of governments, businesses, me and you!
