![]() The solutions that are most economical fluctuate depending on the scenario. Each scenario requires a certain amount of emissions to be reduced or stored to achieve a temperature reduction goal. Drawdown is all about implementing solutions that are plausible and economic. It can be a little confusing why the top 3 solutions change by scenario. All of the solutions and both scenarios are plausible and economic. We link to all the solutions in our show notes for you to check out. The 2 degree Celsius scenario shows reduced food waste, health and education, and plant-rich diets as the top three. The 1.5 degree Celsius scenario shows onshore wind turbines, utility-scale solar photovoltaics, and reduced food waste as the top three in terms of gigatons of CO2 equivalent reduced or sequestered. One scenario that is in line with a 1.5 degree Celsius temperature rise by 2100 and another scenario that is in line with a 2 degree Celsius temperature rise by 2100. Major bucket here is health and education.Īnd don’t worry they still rank the solutions by impact. This involves uplifting the ways nature takes in carbon.Įxamples here are the soil and the ocean, as well as engineered sinks that remove and store carbon. Think electricity, buildings, and transportation. ![]() They now break down the solutions into three buckets: sources, sinks, and society.īasically reducing or removing the actions that are the cause of carbon emissions. Since we talked with Paul, Project Drawdown has been busy.įirst of all, you won’t find that list of 100 solutions on its website anymore. ![]() It ranked and detailed the top 100 solutions to climate change that will eliminate carbon from our atmosphere. The book Project Drawdown was published in 2017. We released an episode titled “Reversing Global Warming” in June 2018 that focused on the book Project Drawdown and featured an interview with its author Paul Hawken.

Updated Episode Intro Notes Annual Food Tank NYC Summit and Gala Dinner.You have to model solutions interactively you can’t model solutions in silos,” says Hawken. “They relate to each other: if you change your diet, what you’re wasting or not wasting is different. “We’re reflecting back to the world what it is already doing-that’s our role, to reflect back to the world to help it see the hope it can’t see.”Įight of the top 20 solutions involve the food system, including the third and fourth top solutions: ending food waste and maintaining and plant-rich diet. And while no model to solve the problem is the right model, says Hawken, Project Drawdown’s model is useful. In fact, fear is one of several causes of global warming, causing individuals to see themselves as separate “but the mindset that will solve the problem is collaborative,” says Hawken. It’s not a fear-based book-we realized fear isn’t a good place to start communication. “ Drawdown is all about narrative, really. ![]() Released in Drawdown (2017), the findings of the project ranks the top 100 most substantive solutions to global warming according to their financial, social, and environmental benefit. Assembling researchers, scientists, policy makers, business leaders, and activists, Hawken founded Project Drawdown to present the best information on climate solutions with feasible actions. But the thing that makes you happy is to do something that’s actually doing,” says Hawken. You’re in an adversarial position with the world. “Fear occupies your mind blaming occupies your mind. While you’re listening, subscribe, rate, and review the show it would mean the world to us to have your feedback. You can listen to “Food Talk with Dani Nierenberg” on Apple iTunes, Stitcher, Google Play Music, Spotify, or wherever you consume your podcasts. Game over actually sounded to me like game on.” “That point in time when you give up and surrender is the opportunity for transformation. In the early 2010s, “there was a wave of despair that washed over friends and activists-it was kind of like game over,” says Hawken. On “Food Talk with Dani Nierenberg,” environmental activist and founder of Project Drawdown Paul Hawken talks about his optimistic model to protect the climate amidst despair and fear in the conversation over climate health.
