Exponential Roadmap 1.5 Partners
Version 1.5.1, March 2020
The Exponential Roadmap
The Exponential Roadmap is a science based cross-sector collaboration resulting in a report published in three iterations. It highlights 36 solutions with exponential scaling potential to halve global greenhouse gas emissions by 2030. Scaling of solutions comes from sharp policy, from climate leadership by companies and cities and from a finance and technology shift towards green solutions with exponential potential. The roadmap shows how we can build a stronger, more resilient and future-proof global economy and increase human prosperity and health – within the planetary boundaries.
Global Climate Action Summit
San Francisco, September 2018
The first Exponential Roadmap, lead authored by Falk and Gaffney, was presented as the main keynote at the Global Climate Action Summit 2018 by Johan Rockström and Christiana Figueres. It is the first global roadmap highlighting that solutions exist to halve emissions by 2030, and that they need to be scaled exponentially through four forces: climate leadership, strong policy, finance and technology.
The Carbon Law
The UN special report on 1.5°C concludes that we need to keep global warming to a maximum of 1.5°C to avoid high risk of catastrophic consequences for people and our living environment. To do so, the world needs to follow the ”carbon law”, halve global GHG emissions every decade, complemented by scaling carbon removals. This simple rule of thumb, called the Carbon Law, can be applied to everyone: companies, cities, nations and citizens.
