I believe we’ll be able to avoid a climate disaster. The ultimate measure of success is global greenhouse-gas emissions: we need to go from 51 billion tons a year to 0 in the next three decades. I’m optimistic we can get there – if we take the right steps.
This week, @Breakthrough Energy is starting an annual tradition. We’re hosting a gathering in Seattle where scientists, inventors, entrepreneurs, public officials, and corporate leaders from around the world will talk about what it’s going to take to get to net-zero emissions.
@Breakthrough In the run-up to the meeting, I decided to write out my thoughts on the state of the transition to zero. gatesnot.es/3s84rwh

Several huge global setbacks over the past few years have left many people discouraged and wondering whether the world is destined to get worse.
The pandemic is one of the biggest setbacks in history. The war on Ukraine is a gigantic tragedy for the entire world. The damage from climate change is already worse than most models predicted. The U.S. has taken a huge step backwards for gender equality and women’s health.
But I’m still optimistic. These setbacks are happening in the context of two decades’ worth of historic progress and I believe it is possible to mitigate the damage and get back to the progress the world was making.

I recently published a list of books you might want to read this summer. Each of the writers took a meaty subject and made it compelling without sacrificing any complexity: gatesnot.es/3MNan5v
I’m glad that I followed @jenngates1996’s recommendation for The Power by @NaomiAllthenews. I gained a more visceral sense of the abuse and injustice women experience today. The people who tackle these issues around the world are truly heroes: gatesnot.es/3xHCOh6
.@ezraklein's Why We’re Polarized is a fascinating look at human psychology. He argues that the increasing polarization in America stems from identity—the human instinct to let our group identities guide our decision-making: gatesnot.es/3O8acD1
