Climate Book Club with Prof. Meghan Busse

Join Prof. Busse for a lunchtime book club discussion of “Climate Capitalism," by Akshat Rathi. Everyone is welcome, whatever their level of climate experience or expertise. All that is expected is interest, curiosity, and a willingness to both share and listen. You must read or listen to the book before the event.

Lunch will be provided. The book is also available in e-book and audiobook formats.

Publisher blurb for "Climate Capitalism": Our age will be defined by the climate emergency. Contrary to the doomist narrative that's taken hold about the climate emergency, the world has already begun deploying the solutions needed to deal with it. On a journey across five continents, Climate Capitalism tracks the unlikely heroes driving the fight against climate change. 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, or the American oil executive building the technology that can reverse climate damages, we meet the people working to scale technologies that are finally able to bend the emissions curve.

Through stories that bring people, policy and technology together, Akshat Rathi reveals how the green economy is not only possible, but profitable. This inspiring blend of business, science, and history provides the framework for ensuring that future generations can live in prosperity and that the wheels of progress don't falter.
