The Decarbonization Imperative - Transforming the Global Economy by 2050
2021. Stanford University Press.
Climate change will reshape our economy and society for generations to come. If we are going to avoid the worst effects of climate change, we are going to need to effectively "decarbonize" the global economy by 2050. This doesn't mean a modest, or even a drastic, improvement in fuel efficiency standards for automobiles. It means a radical reconfiguration of the industries contributing the most, and most harmfully, to this planetary crisis. Disruptive innovation will be key to this change. The authors analyze precisely what this might look like for specific sectors of the world economy and examine the possible challenges and obstacles to introducing a paradigm shift in each one.
Can Business Save the Earth? - Innovating Our Way to Sustainability
2018. Stanford University Press.
In Can Business Save the Earth?, the authors explain just how the private sector can help develop new products, services, and business models that minimize environmental impact while driving economic growth. Based on more than a decade of research and work with companies, they argue that a bright green future is only possible with dramatic innovation across multiple sectors. To achieve this, a broader ecosystem of players—including inventors, executives, customers, investors, activists, and governments—all must play a role. The book outlines how and the extent to which each group can serve as a driver of green growth.
