A green economy is not only possible, it´s profitable.
In this vital antidote for climate anxiety, award-winning journalist Akshat Rathi uncovers ten unlikely heroes creating the key breakthroughs for a green economy.
From the Chinese bureaucrat who did more to make electric cars a reality than Elon Musk, to the Danish students who helped to build the world´s longest-operating wind turbine and the American oil executive building the technology that can reverse climate damages, we meet the people bending the emissions curve and making a prosperous future possible.
Bringing together business, politics, activism and technology, their stories show us the tools we need to solve the climate crisis, and how it´s more profitable to save the world than destroy it.
