The numbers below represent an estimate gigatons of CO2 equivalent emissions that can be reduced or sequestered by a particular solution over a 30-year period. Wherever possible, solutions listed on the Project Drawdown table also display the amount of Carbon Dioxide that can be mitigated if the solution is used. on the most effective ways to address climate change. The project’s Table of Solutions, created by Paul Hawken and Amanda Ravenhill, advises organizations, cities, universities, philanthropies, policymakers, communities, etc. Project Drawdown’s mission is to reduce emission sources, support carbon sinks, and uplift nature’s carbon cycle, and to overall improve society.

We will take a tour of the suite of climate solutions researched by Project Drawdown, explore the biggest leverage points needed to scale these climate solutions in the world and we'll hear the latest updates on our global effort to achieve DRAWDOWN, quickly, safely and equitably. In past discussions, many of you have asked “what can I do?” Many of the answers will be covered in this talk by Jamie Beck Alexander. What we all do next to meet this moment, inside our companies, organizations, communities and spheres of influence is existential to our chances of limiting global warming to the level the science calls for. We know what needs to be done and we have the solutions to do it. And a suite of climate solutions already in hand to address the climate crisis at the scope and scale required, led by the research of the nonprofit Project Drawdown. Bold climate ambition and plans from large corporations and investors globally. A huge percentage of American voters supportive of ambitious climate action. New US climate targets announced by the Biden-Harris administration. Backed by broad expert analysis from across the planet, the Project Drawdown team has come to interesting (and sometimes surprising) conclusions. We are in a pivotal and potentially transformative moment in human history.
