The Search for Climate Innovation: Adapting to a Warmer World

Even the most optimistic climate scenarios require us to adapt as soon as possible to a warming planet and rising sea level. Explore efforts to develop drought-tolerant crops to deal with increasingly parched soil. Also, look at geoengineering projects, such as a proposal to spread a significant fraction of Earth’s beaches with olivine sand to absorb billions of tons of atmospheric CO2. This lecture, presented by Bill Gates, is from Solving for Zero: The Search for Climate Innovation. Nuclear batteries. Eco-friendly cement. Hybrid crops. Explore innovative solutions to the greatest challenge humanity has ever faced.
