Project Drawdown is the world’s leading resource for science-based climate solutions. Here’s how:
Since the publication of the New York Times bestselling book, Drawdown, we’ve been recognized as the world’s leading resource for climate solutions.
We were the first organization in the world to build a library of nearly 100 scientifically-viable solutions to climate change that are ready to go today.
Aimed at guiding policy and investments in climate solutions, the Drawdown Roadmap provides powerful scientific guidance into which climate actions we should prioritize — across sectors, timescales, and geographies — to stop climate change.
From the White House and corporate boardrooms to the TED stage and pages of The New York Times, our experts are called upon to accelerate corporate climate action, guide philanthropic investments, and advocate for equitable climate solutions around the world.
Project Drawdown is elevating corporate climate leadership across America—and beyond. Here’s how:
A full-page New York Times ad to express business support for federal climate investments reached well over 5.5M people and helped to influence eventual passage of the Inflation Reduction Act, which unlocked $369 billion in funding for climate solutions, by presenting the business sector as a unified front for climate action.
Net zero is not enough. We’re pushing companies to adopt the industry leading Drawdown-Aligned Business Framework—accelerating corporate climate leadership.
Jamie Beck Alexander, visionary leader of Drawdown Labs at Project Drawdown, coined the phrase “every job is a climate job”—showing how everyone has a role to play in addressing climate change. Large institutions, from Hewlett Packard Enterprise to the American Red Cross are using this concept, and our corresponding job function action guides, as the centerpiece for their employee engagement strategies,
Our work has educated and informed tens of thousands of corporate employees across job functions—from the C suite on down—bringing climate action to entire companies
Project Drawdown is pioneering strategies to address climate change, alleviate poverty, and improve human wellbeing. Here’s how:
Drawdown Lift’s landmark "Climate-Poverty Connections" report is being used by major private and public funders to catalyze programmatic, strategic, and financial commitments for double-duty climate solutions in developing countries.

Project Drawdown is reimagining climate storytelling by “passing the mic” to underrepresented climate heroes. Here’s how:
Drawdown Stories centers the voices of everyday climate heroes who often go unheard—particularly BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) individuals, immigrants, blue-collar workers, and women.
Drawdown Stories is producing "Drawdown’s Neighborhood"— a first-of-its-kind, groundbreaking collection of videos about underrepresented leaders in communities across America who are bringing climate solutions to life.
Through launch events for "Drawdown’s Neighborhood" in cities across America, Drawdown Stories convenes communities–including city officials and other influential local leaders–to center and celebrate the work and voices of underrepresented climate heroes.
Drawdown Stories reaches people across the U.S. through a diverse network of community partners and platforms; including National Geographic, Pinterest TV, the Weather Channel, and other leading media outlets.
Drawdown Stories connects young people, students, educators, and community members with resources to discover climate solutions and make an impact—engaging more than a million people across the U.S. to date.
