The 100 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 by-effects include increased determination and a sense of grounded hope.” —Per Espen Stoknes, Author, What We Think About When We Try Not To Think About Global Warming

“There’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 carbon-reduction 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 earth’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.

—Per Espen Stoknes, Author, What We Think About When We Try Not To Think About Global Warming

“There’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 carbon-reduction 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

“Drawdown is not just a project—it is an adventure. It is a promising story that has the potential to engage every person on the planet with at least one solution to climate change, whether it is educating girls, improved rice cultivation, creating walkable cities, eating a plant-rich diet, household recycling, or any of the other solutions.”
—Karen O'Brien, cCHANGE

“Drawdown is an exceptional example of cooperation between some of the sharpest thinkers on climate and energy matters, an atlas that has the potential to save the planet.”
—Andreas Kuhlmann, CEO German Energy Agency

“It will give you the best kind of hope, the kind that balances realism with radical vision. . . . Stabilizing the climate system will require a heroic global effort, but the point here is only to show that . . . such an effort can do more than merely succeed; that it can succeed well, and open into futures that we can actually bear to contemplate.”
—Tom Athanasiou, The Nation

“The Paul Hawken presentation I just experienced at Telluride Mountainfilm was simply the best speech I have ever heard. And, not so incidentally, also the most important. To come at the world’s most important issue in an entirely novel fashion is a monumental feat.”
— Tom Peters, American writer on business management practices, best known for In Search of Excellence

“In the course of 20-some years of investigating and writing about global warming I’ve become all too familiar with that dynamic of gloom/doom/shame/fear/apathy, and I think Hawken has put his finger on exactly why we haven’t made more policy progress. The biggest anchor dragging behind this boat isn’t climate denial or even indifference but, I suspect, the almost unspeakably deep, defeatist conviction that no response really matters because we are already so thoroughly screwed. I’m vulnerable to that despair at times and maybe you are, too. If so, read this book — not just as an antidote to fear and despair but as foundation for understanding and supporting the kinds of change that really could be coming, and at every scale from your household to your company, your community, your county and state and national government.”
—Ron Meador, MinnPost

“I am blown away by Drawdown. Like hearing an advance copy of Sergeant Pepper, back in the day.”
—John Elkington, CEO Volans, author and world authority on sustainable development

“Be kindly unto the scientists, for they may just save our skin—and make us happier and wealthier in the bargain. . . . An optimistic program for getting out of our current mess, well deserving of the broadest possible readership.”
—Kirkus Review

“A rigorous and profoundly important resource.”
—Donna Seaman, Booklist

“With a climate-denying party controlling the government, it can seem that there’s no hope. . . . But a new book might change that—and serve as a blueprint for what comes next if the U.S. government (and the global community) begins to aggressively focus on altering the climate future. Drawdown is likely the most comprehensive model of climate solutions ever made.”
—Fast Company

“Drawdown is a magnificent achievement.”
—Greg Watson, Schumacher Center for New Economics

“This is one of the most powerful, hopeful, world-changing documents. A deeply peer reviewed, fully win-win, nearly no-regrets pathway . . . with a surprising ranking of the most important and impactful solutions. Paul Hawken’s simple, elegant genius in leading this approach, can inspire rapid, catalytic action. ”
—Andy Lipkis, TreePeople

“A bold plan to beat back climate change based on solutions already within our grasp.”
—Outside Magazine

“At a time when the Trump administration is working to dismantle much of the nation’s efforts to minimize climate change, Paul Hawken’s new book swoops onto the scene like a knight in shining armor. . . . The book’s release couldn’t possibly come at a better time. Refreshingly absent of political analysis, it’s grounded in scientific reality and will likely go a long way toward inciting people to action.”
—The Portland Tribune

“Drawdown is likely the most hopeful thing you’ll ever read about our ability to take on global warming.”
—Joel Makower, GreenBiz

“This book is a beautiful, inspiring, and deeply satisfying read. Most importantly it is no more doom and gloom. It is OPTIMISTIC and empowering. Paul Hawken is a true visionary and a brilliant voice for real solutions.”
—Jessica Rolph, Founding Partner, Happy Family

“It’s so brilliant . . . a showstopper.”
—Donald A. Falk, PhD, Associate Professor School of Natural Resources and the Environment, University of Arizona

Foreward

As a climate scientist, it’s disheartening to witness world events unfold as they have over the past few decades. The clear and precise warnings we scientists have made about our planet’s changing climate are materializing as predicted. Greenhouse gases are trapping heat in the earth’s atmosphere, producing warmer seasons and an amped-up water cycle.

Warmer air holds more moisture, allowing for higher rates of evaporation and precipitation. Record heat waves, coupled with intense droughts, spark the perfect conditions for massive wildfires. Warming oceans trigger supercharged storms, with greater rainfall and higher storm surges. We can expect a steady rise in extreme weather events in the coming decades, potentially causing countless lost lives and significant financial losses.

Whether we like it or not—whether we choose to “believe” the science or not—the reality of climate change is upon us. It’s affecting everything: not just weather patterns, ecosystems, ice sheets, islands, coastlines, and cities across the planet, but the health, safety, and security of every person alive and the generations to come. Worldwide, we’re seeing related symptoms like the acidification of our oceans, which could devastate coral reefs and marine life, and the changing biochemistry of plants, including staple crops.

We know exactly why this is happening. We’ve known for more than a hundred years.

When we burn fossil fuels (coal, oil, and natural gas), manufacture cement, plow rich soils, and destroy forests, we release heat-trapping carbon dioxide into the air. Our cattle, rice fields, landfills, and natural gas operations release methane, warming the planet even more. Other greenhouse gases, including nitrous oxide and fluorinated gases, are seeping out of our agricultural lands, industrial sites, refrigeration systems, and urban areas, compounding the greenhouse effect. It’s important to remember that climate change stems from many sources such as energy production, agriculture, forestry, cement, and chemical manufacturing; thus, the solutions must arise from those same many sources.

Beyond the damage to our planet, climate change threatens to undermine our social fabric and the foundations of democracy. We see the impacts of this in the United States in particular, where key parts of the federal government are denying the science, and are closely aligned with fossil fuel industries. While most people continue to move through their day as if nothing is wrong, others who are aware of the science are fearful, if not in despair. The climate change narrative has become a doom and gloom story, causing people to experience denial, anger, or resignation.

At times, I have been one of those people.

Thanks to Drawdown, I have a different perspective. Paul Hawken and his colleagues have researched and modeled the one hundred most substantive ways we can reverse global warming. These solutions reside in energy, agriculture, forests, industries, buildings, transportation, and more. They also highlight critical social and cultural solutions, such as empowering girls, reducing population growth, and changing our diets and consumption patterns. Together, these solutions not only slow climate change, they can reverse it.

Drawdown goes beyond solar panels and energy-efficient light bulbs to show that the needed solutions are far more diverse than just those associated with clean energy, and that there are many effective means to address global warming. Drawdown illustrates how we can make dramatic strides by reducing the emissions of more exotic greenhouse gases, like refrigerants and black carbon, lowering nitrous oxide emissions from agriculture, cutting methane emissions from cattle production, and reducing carbon dioxide emissions from deforestation. Moreover, Drawdown demonstrates the potential for removing carbon dioxide from the atmosphere through innovative land use practices, regenerative agriculture, and agroforestry.

But, more importantly to me, Drawdown illuminates ways we can overcome the fear, confusion, and apathy surrounding climate change, and take action as individuals, neighborhoods, towns and cities, states, provinces, businesses, investment firms, and non-profits. This book should become the blueprint for building a climate-safe world. By modeling solutions that are hands-on, well understood, and already scaling, Drawdown points to a future where we can reverse global warming and leave a better world for new generations.

We think that our climate future is harsh because news and reports have focused on what will happen if we do not act. Drawdown shows us what we can do. Because of that, I think this is the single most important book ever written about climate change.

Drawdown has helped restore my faith in the future, and in the capacity of human beings to solve incredible challenges. We have all the tools we need to combat climate change, and thanks to Paul and his colleagues, we now have a plan showing us how to use them.

Now let’s get to work and do it.

Dr. Jonathan Foley Executive Director, California Academy of Sciences San Francisco

Proven ideas for stabilizing the climate

Reviewed in the United States on August 28, 2021

Verified Purchase

This book is a great addition to many public libraries, and for individuals and families engaged in climate activism. Both a technical and artistic accomplishment with one hundred proven ideas for stabilizing carbon dioxide, there should be a wave of parliamentarians who start applying the methods, such as, tropical forest conservation, solar thermal energy, solar photovoltaic, permaculture or perennial crops, geothermal, and electric cars. Each one of these and dozens more are described with three page detailed summaries, charts, and top quality color photos. Coordinating the strategies, like all climate campaigners know, is very difficult. A gasoline tax of twenty five cents per gallon would support electric cars, trains, buses, and local agriculture, with the carbon intensive option of distant agriculture becoming more expensive. On the other hand, any new tax on the middle class and working class means it is usually, but not necessarily, more challenging for people to improve homes with insulation, rooftop solar, and for the same people to eat more plant rich diets. Finally, the is a challenge with rogue nations. If only half or three quarters of the large nations are proactive climate, and nations like India, South Africa, Mexico, and Indonesia are slow with climate progress then short term benefits to the climate will be thwarted. Carbon drawdown is still important since the total amount of carbon dioxide and methane in the atmosphere is what drives global warming, however, the short-term gains we should be seeing from projects like rooftop solar and forest conservation in temperate regions are frequently going to be outweighed by excessive coal use in the Global South and the destruction of the tropical rainforests. Many of the carbon drawdown strategies can buy time for large-scale energy transitions. Just how much time we are buying is uncertain.

Enhanced geothermal systems (EGS) are an important strategy. Desert areas may have EGS over hundreds and thousands of square miles, in the next five years, if nuclear explosives are used by the US and other leading governments (tactical nuclear weapons used a half mile to one mile underground). The technological proposals in the 1960s for "nuclear plowshares" which were focused on canal construction and mining, can be applied to geothermal energy. The 2030 goal of 50% carbon dioxide reductions set by the IPCC is therefore more feasible than generally understood. Geothermal sources in the lower part of Earth's crust and upper mantle can be accessed far better than with ordinary geothermal wells.

Roll up your sleeves, it’s game on!

Reviewed in the United States on September 15, 2017

Verified Purchase

It doesn’t matter where you fall in the climate change debate — or if you believe humans are fully to blame -- or if you wonder if we have “enough” time for a course correction. The invitation in this bold book is to take a smart tough look at feasible solutions.

Paul Hawken’s well-researched Project Drawdown report shows the potential to apply science-based solutions. It’s filled with strategies and concepts that are proven and underway and big and small solutions -- technologies. Microgrids. Biomass. Farmland Restoration. Regenerative Agriculture. More productive Land Use. Smart Transit. High Speed Rail.

Plus plenty actions you can immediately adopt in your daily life: plant rich diets, reduced food waste, composting, tree intercropping, even family planning, and educating girls globally.

While the Trump administration tries to yank us backward by pulling out of the voluntary Paris Agreement, making drastic cuts in the EPA budget, and obscuring the science, there is instant rejection to those short sighted policies. Individuals, cities, states, and responsible corporations were galvanized to step up fill the leadership void with positive actions. We’ve already learned that it makes economic sense with job growth in the “green” economy expanding rapidly.

When Trump tried to distract us with this clever speech line saying “Pittsburgh is not Paris” he got an answer within hours -- the mayors of those two cities got on the phone together and said: “Though separated by an ocean and a language, we share a desire to do what is best for our citizens and our planet. That means putting aside parochial politics…”

We don’t have time for clever speech lines. We don’t have time for partisan politics. None of us will survive without clean air and water.

Some duck and say “their” region might be safe. Really? I’m in Ohio, but I have a son in Houston and a daughter in Florida. Ask your neighbors where their friends live. It’s a time of Hurricanes. Harvey. Irma. Jose. Katia. A time of wildfires raging in the western US. Of earthquakes off the coast of Mexico.

What are we waiting for? We don’t have time for fear mongering, or to argue if we are past the tipping point. Too much emphasis on problems can be overwhelming and cause people to shut down.

But we do have time to roll up our sleeves and pitch in. And I do mean “we” instead of “you” or “I” or “them.” Instead of Game Over, it’s Game On!

Is Drawdown too buoyant? Are the math carbon savings estimates too optimistic? Are the solutions enough to reverse global warming?

So what if we clean our air, water, soil and it turns out that climate change is not fully man made? Are we still not further ahead?

Drawdown invites us to go beyond our fears for the future. Drawdown solutions are not sci fi fantasies of flying off to colonize Mars. No, the Drawdown team of over 200 researchers from 22 nations has given us a list what we can do right now both as individuals, and by working together.

Share this book of solutions with your neighbors. And we are ALL neighbors on this unique planet of ours.

An essential read providing strategies for us all to deal with global warming

Reviewed in Canada on April 29, 2019

Verified Purchase

This is a book that everyone should take the time to read - it provides hope in dealing with the greatest crisis of our time, global warming/climate change. The book compiles research from a large number of reliable sources globally to figure out the impact of 100 strategies on reducing the level of greenhouse gases. The strategies have then been ranked. Interestingly the top strategy is to deal with refrigerants - the HFCs that replaced the ozone damaging CFCs have proved to be particularly potent greenhouse gases. Many of the top strategies relate to food and its production. Knowing the impact that food waste and eating meat have on global warming will encourage many to adjust their feeding habits. Indeed there are many strategies that the average person can adopt without a dramatic change in the way they live. In doing so often there is a savings to be had along the way. I urge you to read this book and talk about it with your family and friends - we all need the conversation now so we can make the changes needed to ensure a healthy planet for future generations.
