The Drawdown Solutions Library is a valued resource for Stewart Investors, a private investment firm with US$20 billion in assets and a focus on companies in emerging economies. Funding areas amplified with guidance from Project Drawdown include metals recycling, plastics reduction, and improved fisheries management. “We use Project Drawdown to help us understand the role companies can play in climate solutions and we map investee companies to Project Drawdown’s collection of climate solutions, which if scaled up, can help to deliver the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C temperature goal,” the company reports. “Our focus is on whether the companies themselves are making a meaningful contribution to delivering the solutions.”
