Bill Gates: How I stay positive on climate change

Bill Gates, the tech billionaire turned philanthropist, has been
combating poverty, disease, and inequity around the world for
decades. However, in recent years he has shifted focus and
resources towards the climate crisis.


Gates believes fighting climate change and fighting poverty are
two sides of the same coin. Food, health and economic crises will
last longer and become more severe as climate threats escalate;
disproportionately impacting the most vulnerable communities.


Surprisingly, Gates remains optimistic and believes the power of
human ingenuity will win out with a technology-driven approach in
both mitigation and adaptation.


Graihagh Jackson sits down with Mr Gates to talk about his
positive outlook and the billions he’s investing in tackling
climate change.
