The Drawdown Roadmap

In this Project Drawdown Briefing, Jonathan Foley overviewed the Drawdown Roadmap, a science-based framework that points to which climate actions businesses, investors, and philanthropists should prioritize. 

See below for key takeaways, resources, and downloadable graphics and charts.

Drawdown Briefings are exclusive offerings for members of the Drawdown Business Coalition and Drawdown Capital Coalition. To learn more about membership, please contact labs@drawdown.org

Key Takeaways

  1. Science can identify the most important climate actions with respect to time, geography, and co-benefits, and guide investments to address solutions in proportion to their potential impact.
  2. The key to further progress is to “see the whole board”:
    • cut emissions across all sectors with a focus first on immediately available, highly impactful, science-based “emergency brake” solutions
    • deploy carbon removal as needed
    • engage multiple “accelerators,” including altering policy, shifting financial and human capital, and changing behavior
