Kate Marvel, associate climate research scientist, Columbia University and NASA Goddard Institute for Space Studies:
"If I were a billionaire, I would try to stop being one as soon as possible by investing everything in girls’ schools and women’s leadership.
Even though there are huge differences in emissions per capita across different countries, decreasing population growth means fewer emitters. Historically, when girls are educated and women have economic opportunities and full control over their reproductive choices, fertility rates fall. That’s why the nonprofit Project Drawdown has named family planning and educating girls among its top solutions for climate change."
