About the Exponential Roadmap Initiative
The Exponential Roadmap Initiative is a leading climate-action initiative with a record of leading-edge projects with global impact. We are anchored in the latest climate science, working closely with Stockholm Resilience Centre, WWF and Potsdam Institute of Climate Impact Research, whose director Johan Rockström is Chair of Exponential Roadmap Initiative.
We bring together innovators, transformers and disruptors taking climate action in line with science, with the mission to halve emissions before 2030 through exponential climate action and solutions. Our ecosystem of partners (including Google, Microsoft, Spotify, Ericsson, IKEA and more) represent roughly 800 BN USD in revenue and 1.7 million employees.
We are an accredited partner of the United Nations’ Race to Zero campaign, and are working directly with our partners who contribute to the global scale-out of the narrative to halve global emissions by 2030 through exponential climate action projects such as the 1.5°C Business Playbook. Launched in 2020 at the World Economic Forum in Davos, together with Christiana Figueres and Johan Rockström, the Playbook is endorsed by our partners, representing roughly 800 BN USD in revenue and 1.7 million employees.
We follow a lean startup approach, are independent and anchored in the latest science, and are agile in structure. We work collaboratively with partners such as the United Nations’ Race to Zero, the We Mean Business Coalition and leading multinationals on projects such as the Exponential Roadmap, 1.5°C Business Playbook, 1.5°C Supply Chain Leaders and SME Climate Hub.
