Speed & Scale: An Action Plan for Solving Our Climate Crisis Now

byJohn Doerr

Venture capitalist John Doerr presents a measurable plan for reaching net-zero greenhouse-gas emissions by 2050. Organizing the challenge around objectives and key results, he identifies major sectors—energy, transportation, buildings, industry, food, and carbon removal—and the policies, technologies, investments, and deadlines required in each. The book features contributions from scientists, entrepreneurs, and public leaders while emphasizing accountability over distant promises. Doerr argues that climate action must proceed with both speed and scale: solutions need rapid deployment, declining costs, supportive regulation, and transparent tracking so progress can be judged against the physical demands of the crisis.
