It's cheaper to save the world than destroy it: author Akshat Rathi on Climate Capitalism

"Climate Capitalism is an antidote to the dominant narrative that because we've ignored the climate crisis for so long, it will soon be too late. While it's true that we've not done enough yet, we're nowhere close to being too late."

So says Akshat Rathi, Bloomberg's senior climate reporter and host of the podcast Zero, in his new book Climate Capitalism, which looks at ways business and industry and finance can make, and in some cases are making, real progress on climate change.
