Regenerative grazing is overhyped as a climate solution. We should do it anyway.
Animal agriculture has a climate problem.
Are livestock feed additives the future or folly?
In 2022, I gave a presentation about climate change solutions to the Canadian Parliament. During that meeting, I had the opportunity to hear a presentation from a beef producers group about how they intended to rely on a new synthetic methane inhibitor (not approved in Canada at the time) as the heart of efforts to curb their greenhouse gas emissions.

Fixing food’s big climate problem
It surprises many people to learn that the food we eat, the farms that grow it, and the landscapes we’ve cleared all contribute to climate change. And contribute in a big way.
Unfortunately, policymakers, business leaders, investors, and philanthropists often overlook this critical aspect of climate change. Moving forward, we must carefully weigh the food system’s impact on climate and develop a robust portfolio of solutions to address it.

Many professionals turn to LinkedIn when looking for career-related knowledge, insights, and connections. When it comes to climate solutions, that means they also may be turning to Project Drawdown. Our staff have helped LinkedIn identify key technologies, jobs, and businesses that advance climate solutions – information LinkedIn has used to develop information and insights for businesses, policymakers, and others.

Solutions by Design
Students in Marc O’Brien’s Climate Designers class at the California College of the Arts don’t just learn climate design – they live it. Each semester’s cohort breaks into small groups focused on one of Project Drawdown’s climate solutions, then the groups create projects that amplify the innovations of companies working in that space. O’Brien also shares Drawdown Labs’ Job Function Action Guide for product designers as inspiration for those who want to bring climate action with them as they move from school into the workplace. And he’s now in the process of building an incubator focusing on climate industries inspired by Project Drawdown’s Climate Solutions Library.
