What was the name of Bill Gates’s 2021 book about addressing climate change?

Bill Gates’s 2021 book about addressing climate change is How to Avoid a Climate Disaster.

The book presents Gates’s assessment of climate change and argues for reaching net-zero greenhouse-gas emissions. It discusses energy, transportation, manufacturing, agriculture, and buildings, emphasizing the need for technological innovation alongside policy and investment.

Gates wrote the book as a technology investor and philanthropist interested in clean energy. It is not a memoir and is not primarily about Microsoft. That distinction helps separate it from The Road Ahead, his earlier book about the digital revolution, and from his later book How to Prevent the Next Pandemic.

The title reflects the book’s central goal: explaining the scale of the climate challenge while outlining areas where innovation could reduce emissions. It was published in 2021 by Alfred A. Knopf.
