Number-one best-selling author and acclaimed venture capitalist John Doerr reveals a sweeping action plan to conquer humanity's greatest challenge: climate change。
To solve the seemingly-insurmountable climate crisis， we have to take collective action， drive societal change and accelerate the net zero economy using a plan of speed and scale。 And we have to start now。
In SPEED & SCALE'， award-winning author and investor John Doerr convenes the world's foremost change-makers to show us how we can， if we fully commit to a high-stakes action plan， cut carbon emissions in half by 2030 and reach Net Zero by 2050。 He shares practical efforts that we must take， applying Objectives and Key Results （OKRs） - the simple but powerful tools that scale small ideas into global movements - to our climate goals， setting out the standards that we need to reach as leaders。
By turns pragmatic and inspiring， 'SPEED & SCALE' intersperses Doerr's wide-ranging analysis with firsthand accounts from contributors Jeff Bezos， Christiana Figueres， Al Gore， Mary Barra， Bill Gates， and many other intrepid policy leaders， entrepreneurs， scientists， and activists。 A launchpad for those who are ready to act now， this book is geared to leaders in every walk of life。 With a definitive action plan， the latest science， and a rising climate movement on our side， we can still reach net zero before it is too late。 But as Doerr reminds us， there is no more time to waste。

Not a page turner， but an incredible insight into the current state of the world， and a well-thought out plan on how to fix it。 Seriously considering buying an electric car to help expedite the process on electrifying our transportation flee。

Speed and Scale is an action plan to solve the climate crisis， written in the style of Objectives and Key Results （OKRs）。 The main objective to solve the climate crisis is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from 59 Gigatons in 2020 to 0 Gigatons by 2050。 Doerr divides his action plan （i。e。 the book） into two parts。 The first part treats the six areas in which we must reduce emissions: transport， electricity， food， nature， industry， and carbon reduction。 This is what we must do。 Then， Doerr lists Speed and Scale is an action plan to solve the climate crisis， written in the style of Objectives and Key Results （OKRs）。 The main objective to solve the climate crisis is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from 59 Gigatons in 2020 to 0 Gigatons by 2050。 Doerr divides his action plan （i。e。 the book） into two parts。 The first part treats the six areas in which we must reduce emissions: transport， electricity， food， nature， industry， and carbon reduction。 This is what we must do。 Then， Doerr lists four types of interventions to deliver on these emission reduction goals （Doerr calls these "accelerants"）: policy， movements， innovation， investment。 This is how we must do it。 There are many roadmaps to net zero。 I found this one worth reading for a few reasons: - The book is comprehensive， quantitative， and precise yet highly accessible to people who are intelligent but do not have domain knowledge。 For instance， each of the first six chapters lists the current yearly emissions of that domain and the target emissions by 2050。 Graphs are highly legible and full of insights。- The book includes profiles from some of the world's leading founders， investors， politicians， researchers， and organizers， with whom Doerr has built relationships through a very successful career。 These profiles are masterfully woven into the chapters。 As a result， the book is not just informative but also inspiring。 You realize that in solving this complex problem lies tremendous opportunity for wealth creation and human flourishing。- The book provides clear scaffolding for action。 While it is not meant to prescribe actions you can take as an individual consumer， it provides a great overview of the areas worth tackling。 In summary， I think this is a must-read for any intelligent leader trying to put their head around how to tackle climate change。 For those who have been studying this for a while， the book will provide a clear overview， fresh insights， and inspiration to carry on。 。。。more

A tour de force that gives focus and hope for the 4 voters in our family。 The clarity of thinking is compelling。 The personalities， stories and testimonials are impossible to ignore。 Doerr demonstrates the power of OKR’s to put instincts and values into action。 As my daughter said after reading， “I hope your generation takes climate as seriously as this book does。”
