where we started
Solutions House started out as a collaboration between Futerra, Google and The Exponential Roadmap Initiative to host live events at Futerra’s offices during Climate Week 2022. Over 500 solutionists passed through our doors with many saying, ‘best event ever!’
We called it ‘Solutions House’ because the three partners craved a space for answers, not just problems. Attendees are called ‘solutionists’ because Solitaire Townsend launched her book, The Solutionists, at the House.
In 2024, the demand for ANSWERS ONLY has outgrown the Futerra office. So, this year, Solutions House Live was held at Studio 525, 525 West 24th Street to allow many more solutionists to attend and enable a better experience for both live and online attendees.
Futerra and the Exponential Roadmap Initiative remain the Solutions House Live hosts. And we’re excited to welcome the Sustainable Entertainment Alliance as convening partner along with Google this year!
where we are going
Meeting in person matters. There’s magic when people gather and connect in a human way. But we live in a big world, so we’ll never be able to welcome every solutionist at a live event. So let’s bottle that magic.
Solutions House is now a 365 day a year, 24/7 online hub for solutionists everywhere who want to catch up on the latest news, debates and ideas about how we can get to a just, fair and 1.5-degree world. Join a global community of people that think the same.

We all want to be the best solutionist we can be. Over the coming months Solutions House will host free gatherings, trainings and online community events to support and enable us all. If you want to suggest a session please get in touch!

There are solutions EVERYWHERE. Receive a ‘solutions shot’ in your inbox every Friday packed with the latest ideas, tech and good news on climate. We’ll send you into the weekend feeling a little bit brighter. You can also nominate a solution to share the upcoming solution shots by getting in contact.

Finally, this is a community of other people who, like you, don’t accept that the game is up on climate change and social justice and want to talk to people who also have an ‘answers only’ mindset. Yep – you can find them on LinkedIn, but there’ll be less clutter here! Join, comment, suggest and gather by signing up to the community.
