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。”
