Microsoft founder Bill Gates intends to invest about $ 2 billion in the next five years in the fight against climate change. He said this in an interview published on Monday in the German newspaper Handelsblatt.
Gates plans to invest in startups and other projects. According to him, the climate catastrophe should be prevented with the help of innovative technologies. “It’s possible, but it will be very difficult,” said the founder of Microsoft.
At the same time, Gates called for a fivefold increase in global public investment in research – at least $ 110 billion a year. They should be directed around the world to the development of renewable energy sources and other innovations. “We need to change the physical economy at an unprecedented rate,” Gates said.
Bill Gates and his wife, Melinda, head the charity, which focuses on developing dangerous diseases in developing countries and health and education programs in the United States. Hundreds of millions of dollars have been allocated through the fund to develop a new type of coronavirus vaccine and to support the poor who are most vulnerable to a pandemic.
Proponents of conspiracy theories, however, believe that the spread of the coronavirus is a “special operation to chip people in and follow them,” and that Gates is allegedly behind it.
Last summer, Bill Gates said that climate change could take far more lives than COVID-19.
