Project Drawdown

Project Drawdown has always been the world’s leading guide to science-based climate solutions 🌏. With the new Drawdown Explorer, we’re moving beyond describing solutions → to spotlighting breakthrough strategies for accelerating climate action.

Novel carbon removal, from Direct Air Capture to enhanced rock weathering, removes just 17 minutes’ worth of our annual emissions. Yet some future climate scenarios project a 15,000-fold increase, with no clear justification for how they arrived at those numbers. Read more: https://bit.ly/48i56Ad

Good climate news! New Mexico will hit its 2030 renewables goal early. 🌞💨🔋 Here’s what’s driving the state’s clean energy momentum, + lessons learned, including the importance of supporting fossil fuel workers through the transition. ✍️ Julian Spector/Canary Media: https://bit.ly/4skukY7

“The right unit isn’t degrees; it’s tons — of carbon dioxide, methane, and other greenhouse gases. If we want to avoid the worst impacts, our task is and has always been to reduce these emissions as quickly as possible.” - @drkatemarvel.bsky.social @afreedma.bsky.social CNN: https://cnn.it/4sfoI0W

A new WORTHWHILE ✅ solution is now live ➡️ Improve Building Envelopes "Improving building envelopes cuts GHG emissions by enhancing the thermal resistance of the building shell and reducing unwanted heat exchange between the external environment and indoor spaces."

It's worth repeating what @drkatemarvel.bsky.social told me for this story: “Passing 1.5 degrees is a sign that we’re not moving fast enough, but it doesn’t mean we’re doomed."

The climate misconception that @drkatemarvel.bsky.social corrects most often probably sounds very familiar to a lot of us who follow climate closely: The idea that climate solutions are boutique or out of reach. Listen to Kate's full interview with @climateone.org 👉 https://bit.ly/3U6xBgH

Congratulations to Jonathan Foley on eight years at Project Drawdown! Thank you for your years of dedication to our critical mission. Here’s to many more! 🎉

Food is a major driver of climate change and a major opportunity to slow it. 🌱 This #WorldFoodDay, see how cutting food waste, protecting ecosystems, and more can help us feed the planet without destroying it. Explore the science and solutions: drawdown.org/food-and-climate #FixingFood

Benji Backer's approach to fighting for climate and a livable future has evolved from playing politics to building broad coalitions. With United By Nature, he's building the next generation of American conservation. Watch the full interview 👉 https://bit.ly/3U0gIo4 🎥 NYC Department of Records

Just like Exxon knew about the impacts of climate change, the beef industry knew too. A new PLOS Climate study documents how the National Cattlemen’s Association (NCA), now NCBA, responded to evidence linking cattle methane to global warming from 1986–1996 (study 🔗 at end of 🧵)

Plug-in solar was approved in CA, and it's turning homes into a distributed network of tiny power plants. “It’s really ideal to use renewable electricity exactly where it’s generated.” - @amandadsmith.bsky.social, sr. scientist @mrmattsimon.bsky.social https://bit.ly/4xSqxCf #cleanenergy

Because climate solutions are being implemented globally, the IPCC is ruling out the worst-case prediction of climate change, RCP 8.5. But that does not mean we are in the clear. 🔥 Listen to the full interview with @drkatemarvel.bsky.social in Heated: https://bit.ly/3VYuO9Y

“Because methane has such a big impact on the climate in a short amount of time, the more we can reduce methane, it is like pulling the emergency brake on climate change,” @enviroem.bsky.social Read more from #APNews and Alexa St. John: https://bit.ly/470AUsY #compost

We’re probably going to breach the 1.5 C climate target. So, now what? Here’s my take… drawdown.org/insights/wer...

What do we need to address climate change? More money, better deployed. trff.org/updates/more...

"Regenerative grazing" is a greenwashing scam, nothing more. Here's why. Please don't be taken in. drawdown.org/insights/eig...

Failing to meet the 1.5˚C temperature target does not mean we are doomed. But a warmer world is a more dangerous world. Unpack the latest UNEP climate report with @globalecoguy.bsky.social in his latest Insights 👉 https://bit.ly/46ZdaVQ

Clean, affordable, and abundant energy sources like solar and wind are the future. See below for statements from @globalecoguy.bsky.social and Kate Marvel on today's news that the United States EPA is eliminating pollution limits on dirty, expensive, fossil-fueled power plants.
