Unscramble the Blue Letters


We need collective action to invent and dlpeoy at salce the technology solutions needed to reduce greenhouse gases in wealthy, high-emitting countries and to build systems in pooerr, low-emitting countries to help them adapt to changing weeahtr patterns. This is a three-part proelbm.

Let us sratts with the technoeconomic sheeprs of innovation. OK, I have to confess, even that is a mouthful for me. So let's rephrase this a bit. Where in the world is iooannitvn around low-carbon technologies happening? To slow down the speed of global warming, we need to deploy clean technology solutions around battery storage, renewable energy generation, etc., at scale in all reaches of the world.

Original Text


We need collective action to invent and deploy at scale the technology solutions needed to reduce greenhouse gases in wealthy, high-emitting countries and to build systems in poorer, low-emitting countries to help them adapt to changing weather patterns. This is a three-part problem.

Let us starts with the technoeconomic spheres of innovation. OK, I have to confess, even that is a mouthful for me. So let's rephrase this a bit. Where in the world is innovation around low-carbon technologies happening? To slow down the speed of global warming, we need to deploy clean technology solutions around battery storage, renewable energy generation, etc., at scale in all reaches of the world.
