Making Climate Tech Work
Climate tech is essential for preventing environmental catastrophe, with half of the greenhouse gas reductions by 2050 reliant on yet-to-be-developed technologies. Market forces alone can't drive the swift transition to a low-carbon economy, as the early commercial value of climate tech often doesn't match its societal importance.
However, smart policies can catalyse innovation and investment in clean technologies.
In Making Climate Tech Work, Alon Tal explores global climate innovation programs, making complex policy discussions accessible. He reviews government roles in technology development, evaluates policy options, and shares case studies from around the world, including Germany’s renewable energy strategies and Denmark’s wind energy success. Tal also addresses the ethical implications and the often-overlooked impacts on workers and the Global South in the shift to a low-carbon economy.
This concise guide provides crucial insights for policymakers, academics, and anyone interested in climate solutions, emphasising the importance of effective policies in driving the innovation needed for a sustainable future.
