"As we move through the rest of this decade, we must dramatically shift our tactics to address climate change. The old models simply aren’t working. Relying on elected politicians and diplomats to save us is not working. And ignoring science-based approaches to more effective climate action has been costly." -- Project Drawdown executive director Jonathan Foley https://lnkd.in/gm2QmA-e

The world's leading resource for climate solutions.
About us
Project Drawdown is the world’s leading resource for climate solutions. We are a trusted, science-based, and independent guide for effective climate action across the globe. As a U.S.-based nonprofit organization, our mission is to help the world stop climate change—as quickly, safely, and equitably as possible. Our work is built on three pillars: SCIENCE. First, we conduct cutting-edge research to identify the best possible climate solutions – and to design the most effective strategies to bring them to scale. Then, we share our findings with the world through highly effective science communication, marketing campaigns, and media partnerships. STAKEHOLDERS. Next, we use our science to inform and inspire philanthropists, investors, business leaders, policymakers, community change-makers, and other stakeholders to take bold leadership positions and bring effective climate action to the world. STORIES. Finally, we use the power of storytelling to help shift the narrative on climate change – from problem to solution and from “doom and gloom” toward “opportunity and possibility.” Along the way, we elevate new voices and showcase new climate heroes changing the world. We strongly believe that good science is needed to guide effective climate action. We also believe that science must be shared in actionable and compelling ways – through stakeholder engagement and powerful storytelling. Our job is to make this happen. A 501(c)(3) nonprofit, non-partisan organization, Project Drawdown is funded by individual and institutional donations.
