Theme Background

Description

The Climate Tech Map is a free platform that identifies technical “Innovation Imperatives” and “Moonshots” that will accelerate decarbonization.

Innovation Imperatives are the critical needs that can help accelerate the path to net zero in the near term.
Moonshots are high-risk, high-reward innovations that may take longer to realize but could radically reshape our path to net zero.

Developed by an interdisciplinary coalition — including Breakthrough Energy, McKinsey, and Stanford University’s Doerr School of Sustainability — it focuses attention on technologies that move the needle at scale. Other contributors include Elemental Impact, John Doerr’s climate initiative Speed & Scale, and the policy think tank Energy Innovation.
