Exponential summits
Bringing together innovators, disruptors and transformers taking action in line with 1.5°C to scale exponential climate action and solutions
Exponential Race to Zero – Stockholm+50
Hosted at the Sthlm+50 Climate Hub, with over 31 million viewers from 160+ countries and 1000+ delegates in physical attendance, the Exponential Race to Zero was hosted together with We Don’t Have Time, United Nations’ Race to Zero and We Mean Business Coalition.
The series of events focused on the game-changers in energy efficiency, green energy, travel & transport, plant-based food, regenerative agriculture, protection & restoring of nature and maximizing positive impacts from digitalization.
We brought together leading transformers and disruptors – all aligned with the 1.5°C ambition – collaborating with peers towards zero emission and circular value chains. Together we identified concrete actions to remove the blockers to enable scaling up faster and further to COP27- a step-up on an exponential journey.

Previous summits
Exponential Climate Action Summit V — Nature in the Race to Zero
April 2022
Hosted on Earth Day, the fifth Exponential Climate Action Summit explored the role of nature in the Race to Zero, including how nature-based solutions can help us deliver a third of the greenhouse gas reductions needed by 2030 to meet the Paris Agreement.
We need to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions by mid-century to keep the global temperature below 1,5°C. While the focus has primarily been on reducing fossil fuel dependency, there is no viable route to limiting global warming and building resilience without urgently protecting, managing, and restoring nature
Exponential Climate Action Summit IV — COP26
November 2021
Daily live broadcasts from COP26 in Glasgow, and from hubs in Stockholm, Helsinki, Washington DC and Nairobi- hosted by We Don’t Have Time. Exponential Climate Action Summit VI covered Food Production & Nature-based solutions, Innovation & Digitalization, Energy & Transportation, Finance and Industry & Buildings.
Exponential Climate Action Summit III — Circularity and the Race to Zero
September 2021
Our third Exponential Climate Action Summit focused on the challenges, opportunities, and creative solutions regarding circularity and resource efficiency. We bring together transformers, disruptors, and enablers to explore how a circular economy can contribute to lowering emissions while also addressing human needs
Exponential Climate Action Summit II — Financing the Race to Zero
April 2021
At our second Exponential Climate Action Summit we bring together transformers, disruptors and enablers focusing on how to finance the Race to Zero. Our societies need to halve CO2 emissions by 2030 and continue toward zero by 2050, by scaling climate solutions exponentially. Capital must enable the exponential transformation and the financial sector must be exponentially transformed.
Exponential Climate Action Summit I — Race to Zero through digitalization
September 2020
Hosted at Climate Week, the Exponential Climate Action Summit brought together the foremost thinkers and doers in climate action to discuss what innovations and policies exist that can bring the change required in order to halve emissions by 2030 in the Race To Zero.
We have explored how digitalization can enable sufficient action in businesses and governments. We have also discussed the solutions that digitalization brings in the sectors of energy, transport and industry, along with the frontrunners of each sector.
