Drawdown

We can meet the Paris Climate Agreement by the mid-2040s. This is the hopeful conclusion from Project Drawdown’s 2020 Review. The original 2017 publication Drawdown, edited by Paul Hawken, set out 100 existing climate solutions, evaluated scientifically and ranked in terms of their potential positive impact. The Review updates the ranking of solutions that reduce sources, support sinks and improve society, finding the top 5 solutions are onshore wind, utility-scale solar, reduced food waste, plant-rich diets and health & education. The financial case is also compelling, with net operational savings exceeding net implementation costs four to five times over.
