Speed & Scale

Leaders are busy people with short attention spans. Speed & Scale is a global initiative aimed at educating and advocating for scaling targeted solutions along 10 Objectives.

There are many levels to tackling climate change. Understanding the full picture is a critical step in advancing sustainable solutions. Speed & Scale lays out and a clear framework of Objectives including sectors where emissions need to be reduced and areas where advocacy needs to focus to accelerate progress.

Each Objective is explained in its own section on the site and supported by a series of Key Results that need to be accomplished by 2050 to satisfy the objective. The Speed & Scale Tracker also provides an assessment of progress and momentum towards meeting each key result.

The Speed & Scale team has done extensive research to support their plan for each Objective and Key Result. Whether it's diving deep on energy sources for electricity, the state of transportation, or food consumption and production, each key result provides details on where we are now, and what stands in the way of meeting our goals. Interactive data visualizations help to illustrate specifically where we stand on each Key Result.

The entire Speed & Scale experience is anchored by it's namesake book, written by venture capitalist John Doerr, who recently made a $1.1B donation to Stanford University to create a new Climate School, in collaboration with Ryan Panchadsaram, former Deputy Chief Technology Officer in the Obama administration.
