Vietnamese Book Release: Climate Capitalism

As the global economy enters a decisive era of energy transition, the question is no longer whether climate solutions are possible, but whether they can scale fast enough. Climate Capitalism is a climate and business book that explores this challenge through real-world stories of markets, policy, and innovation. Earth VC has translated the Vietnamese edition of Climate Capitalism, written by journalist and climate commentator Akshat Rathi, published locally as Tư Bản Khí Hậu.

Tư Bản Khí Hậu offers Vietnamese readers a grounded, evidence-based view of how climate action and economic growth can move forward together. The book explores this shift through real-world stories of people, policies, and technologies shaping a cleaner and more resilient economy.

Who This Climate and Business Book Is For

Climate Capitalism is written for readers who want to understand how markets, innovation, and leadership intersect with climate action. Entrepreneurs and investors will find insight into how clean technologies move from policy ambition to commercial reality. Business leaders and executives gain perspective on how energy transition reshapes industries and competitive advantage. Policymakers, students, and educators will recognize a practical lens on how decisions, incentives, and systems interact over time.

At its core, the book is for readers who want to move beyond abstract climate debates and understand how real change is already happening.

What You’ll Learn From Climate Capitalism

Akshat Rathi takes readers across five continents, tracing the people and ideas driving climate solutions forward. Rather than focusing on distant scenarios, the book highlights tangible progress already underway.

Readers encounter stories ranging from a Chinese official accelerating electric vehicle adoption at unprecedented scale, to Danish students helping build the world’s longest-operating wind turbine. The book also explores how leaders inside traditional energy companies are developing technologies aimed at reversing environmental damage.

Through these interconnected narratives, Climate Capitalism shows how clean energy, climate innovation, and economic incentives are increasingly aligned.

Climate Action as an Economic Opportunity

A central message of Climate Capitalism is that the green economy is not only feasible, but profitable. Rathi illustrates how climate-focused policies, when paired with innovation and market demand, create new industries, jobs, and investment opportunities.

Rather than framing climate action as sacrifice, the book reframes it as value creation, where long-term thinking unlocks both environmental and economic returns. This perspective is especially relevant for readers navigating investment strategy and leadership in a rapidly changing global economy.

Why This Book Matters Now

The stories in Climate Capitalism demonstrate that solutions emerge when technology, policy, and human ambition move together. By connecting these elements through accessible storytelling, the book helps readers understand how large-scale change actually happens — not in isolation, but through coordinated systems.

For future generations, the book offers a clear message: prosperity on a green planet is not a contradiction, but a design challenge that can be solved.
