Drawdown: The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to Reverse Global Warming

by Paul Hawken (editor)

Recommendations from our site

“Project Drawdown…lays out in detail dozens of different strategies for getting to zero carbon emissions and meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement of 2015. It’s an incredible piece of work, with the input of hundreds of scientists, and an incredible inspiration. Every politician around the world should read this, and every policy maker and CEO and teacher. It shows how not only is it possible to get to net zero, but that it saves us money.” Read more...
