Drawdown^® Insights

The international climate community is clear that net zero emissions, wherein we don’t emit more greenhouse gases into the atmosphere than can be removed, are what we need to achieve to halt global warming and the most dire effects of climate change. 

Though we live on an undeniably watery planet, the ocean and the seafloor remain largely unexplored.

Last month, I led the inaugural Climate @ Work Employee Training, a new workshop by Project Drawdown designed to help non-sustainability employees understand the role of businesses – and most importantly, their employees – in scaling climate action. 

Every summer, country representatives and climate professionals gather in Bonn, Germany, for UN dialogues on climate change.

Africa is home to nearly one-fifth of the world’s population, but accounts for less than 4% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

As the Trump Administration dismantles environmental safeguards, from targeting rules that limit power plant and car pollution to speeding up permitting processes for fossil fuel projects – actions that will put all

A recent conversation with a friend got me thinking another way about the “who” and the “how” of climate action. 

Climate change is affecting communities around the world, threatening human health and well-being. 

There are a few things that are non-negotiable for all life on Earth, among them, water, food, and shelter. 

When people think of climate solutions, they often focus on smokestacks, tailpipes, and other artifacts of our fossil-fueled economy. That’s fitting since roughly two-thirds of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions come from producing and burning oil, gas, coal, and other highly polluting fuels. But it overlooks other critical emissions sources – including deforestation – that are also accelerating the climate crisis.
