Description

• New York Times bestseller •

The most substantive solutions to reverse global warming, based on meticulous research by leading

scientists and policymakers around the world

“At this point in time, the Drawdown book is exactly what is needed; a credible, conservative

solution-by-solution narrative that we can do it. Reading it is an effective inoculation against the

widespread perception of doom that humanity cannot and will not solve the climate crisis. Reported byeffects

include increased determination and a sense of grounded hope.― —Per Espen Stoknes,

Author, What We Think About When We Try Not To Think About GlobalWarmingÂ

“Thereâ€s been no real way for ordinary people to get an understanding of what they can do and

what impact it can have. There remains no single, comprehensive, reliable compendium of carbonreduction

solutions across sectors. At least until now. . . . The public is hungry for this kind of practical

wisdom.― —David Roberts, Vox

“This is the ideal environmental sciences textbook—only it is too interesting and inspiring to be called

a textbook.― —Peter Kareiva, Director of the Institute of the Environment and Sustainability, UCLA

In the face of widespread fear and apathy, an international coalition of researchers, professionals, and scientists

have come together to offer a set of realistic and bold solutions to climate change. One hundred techniques and

practices are described here—some are well known; some you may have never heard of. They range from

clean energy to educating girls in lower-income countries to land use practices that pull carbon out of the air.

The solutions exist, are economically viable, and communities throughout the world are currently enacting them

with skill and determination. If deployed collectively on a global scale over the next thirty years, they represent

a credible path forward, not just to slow the earthâ€s warming but to reach drawdown, that point in time when

greenhouse gases in the atmosphere peak and begin to decline. These measures promise cascading benefits to

human health, security, prosperity, and well-being—giving us every reason to see this planetary crisis as an

opportunity to create a just and livable world.
