Drawdown: Comprehensive solutions to reverse global warming.

This book provides a comprehensive and well-researched set of realistic solutions to climate change. It offers 100 techniques and practices to reduce carbon emissions and achieve drawdown. The solutions range from well-known clean energy approaches to lesser-known practices such as educating girls in lower-income countries and land use practices that pull carbon out of the air. The book promises cascading benefits to human health, security, prosperity, and well-being. It is the ideal environmental sciences textbook, but too interesting and inspiring to be called a textbook.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

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.
