Much like pandemic mitigation, combating climate change requires difficult global cooperation. The emergence of new climate-altering technologies further complicates this, raising critical questions about governance, leadership, and ethics.

The Carnegie Climate Governance Initiative (C2G) addresses these challenges. For three years, C2G has engaged global decision-makers across governments, the UN, and civil society. They advocate for effective, inclusive governance of emerging climate technologies, urging proactive risk management and transparent global monitoring before events escalate.

John Doerr, venture capitalist and author of the best-selling book *Measure What Matters*, popularized OKRs (objectives and key results). Now, in *Speed & Scale: An Action Plan for Solving Our Climate Crisis Now*, Doerr and Kleiner Perkins advisor Ryan Panchadsaram argue that the same management tools can be applied to prevent the growing climate crisis.

Join The Commonwealth Club and Climate One on December 6, 2021, as John Doerr and Ryan Panchadsaram discuss this pressing issue. They will explore how lessons learned at the highest levels of business might address climate change, in conversation with Greg Dalton of Climate One.
