Project Drawdown is the most comprehensive plan ever proposed to reverse global warming. It was created by a coalition of scholars, scientists, entrepreneurs, and advocates from across the globe. They are mapping, measuring, modeling, and communicating about a set of substantive solutions to global warming. What they uncovered is a path forward that can roll back global greenhouse gas emissions within thirty years. The research revealed that humanity has the means and techniques at hand. Nothing new needs to be invented, yet many more solutions are coming due to purposeful human ingenuity. The solutions we modeled are in place and in action. Humanity’s task is to accelerate the knowledge and growth of what is possible as soon as possible. For more information, visit:
