Exponential summits

Bringing together innovators, disruptors and transformers taking action in line with 1.5°C to scale exponential climate action and solutions

Exponential Solutions – COP27

Emissions need to halve by 2030. We can succeed if we focus on exponentially scaling climate solutions in energy, transport, food and nature, shifting away from the fossil economy. Transformative and disruptive companies are leading the way, but stronger policy, finance and utilization of digitalisation is required to accelerate the race to the top.

At COP27, we are partnering up with We Don’t Have Time and the UN Backed Race to Zero campaign, hosting three high-level sessions showcasing how we can exponentially scale climate solutions in food & nature and energy systems.

Previous summits

Exponential Climate Action Summit VII – Science & Solutions

November 2022

The seventh of the Exponential Climate Action Summit series— brought to you live from the COP27 Climate Hub in Sharm El Sheikh.

How can business and society contribute to increased resilience, adaptation and mitigation? Join us as we explore nature-based solutions and carbon capture, decarbonization of industries and how digitalization and finance act as enablers.

Solutions House – Climate Week NYC

September 2022

Hosted by Futerra, the Exponential Roadmap Initiative and Google, the motto of Solutions House was ‘answers only’. Every one of our debates, showcases, ideation sessions and workshops was held in that spirit.

Leaders, experts, entrepreneurs, youth activists, storytellers, innovators and influencers gathered with one objective: drive exponential climate solutions that help halve emissions before 20230.

Exponential Climate Action Summit VI — Maximizing impact with digitalization

June 2022

The sixth of the Exponential Climate Action Summit series— brought to you live from SPACE arena in Stockholm with 1.5°C aligned front-runners like Ericsson, Google, BT Group, Netflix and many others.

The digital industry has a leadership role in racing towards net zero value chains, but also accelerating the movement to halve emission in all supply chains. It is crucial to halve emissions in all other sectors, while also enabling sustainable choices and raising climate awareness among people.

Exponential Race to Zero- Stockholm+50

June 2022

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, transport, plant-based food and maximizing positive impacts from digitalization.

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.

Earth Day Week broadcast

April 2020

Hosted during Earth Day week, the program featured the brightest minds to discuss solutions to the climate crisis, covering the themes: finance, circular economy& consumption, big ideas & education and food & agriculture. 450 000 daily viewers from 140+ countries tuned in to this online no-fly climate conference.
