John Doerr and Ryan Panchadsaram: Speed & Scale’s Reality Check | SFCW LIVE at Climate One
Climate One will be celebrating SF Climate Week with a series of programs featuring leading voices in climate, from local to global. Sessions will feature insightful conversations that acknowledge today’s challenging political reality while showcasing what’s doable — and joyful!
We'll kick off the week on Monday (April 20) at 9:30 a.m. with this exciting program:
In 2021, legendary investor John Doerr outlined his plan to solve climate change in his bestseller Speed & Scale. The plan outlines 10 objectives, each with their own set of key results, to cut emissions to net zero. And in true John Doerr style, the results are to be measurable and trackable.
Now, five years later, Doerr and co-author Ryan Panchadsaram unveil their 2026 update, revealing where the world is winning, where it's falling behind, and what it will take to close the gap.
Join Climate One and Speed & Scale for a dynamic morning at the intersection of electricity, geopolitics, and market forces — three powers converging to shape the future of energy. Expect sharp insights, quickfire expert sessions, and an unvarnished look at what's actually at stake in the energy transition — and the bold actions still required to secure a clean, abundant energy future.
