Thoughts about climate change understandably provoke feelings of fear, loss and threat. The majority of Americans are confused or unsure of what to do. On the other hand, because of disinformation, polls show that fewer people are interested in climate science than ten years ago. The alarm bells have activated a dedicated core of organizations and activists. Those who grasp the science are increasingly concerned by forecasts. On one hand, the science is robust and unequivocal. The climate “debate” today is similar to a decade ago. Now is the time to measure and calculate how we are responding so that we can amplify that response. Scientists have done an extraordinary job determining the impacts of what will happen if we don’t act to mitigate climate change. There are three paths to drawdown: reduce greenhouse gas emissions into the atmosphere through efficiency and resource productivity replace existing energy sources with low carbon renewable energy and bio-sequester carbon dioxide through innovative farming, grazing and reforestation practices. Project Drawdown believes the public’s willingness to respond to climate change can shift significantly if they understand how they can benefit, individually and collectively, by adopting these solutions.ĭrawdown creates a realistic, optimistic and empowering view of our climate future. The book, database and digital platform all detail what it takes to achieve drawdown – a year-to-year reduction in the concentration of CO2 in the atmosphere. Project Drawdown is catalyzing a broad coalition of researchers, scientists, graduate students, PhDs, post-docs, policy makers, business leaders, and activists to come together, assemble and present the best available information on the full breadth of substantive climate solutions in order to describe their beneficial financial, social and environmental impact over the next thirty years. ![]() These resources define and describe the means to reduce and sequester CO2 emissions in the atmosphere. Project Drawdown consists of a book, an open-source database, and an interactive digital platform. SR Inc was delighted to feature Project Drawdown founders Paul Hawken and Amanda Ravenhill as keynotes at the Sustainable Business Enterprise Roundtable (SBER) Q4 Executive Symposium.
