Descriptions and analyses of solutions to reach Drawdown, the future point in time when levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere stop climbing and start to steadily decline. The solutions focus on all aspects of the climate equation—stopping the sources of greenhouse gas pollution, supporting and enhancing the sinks of carbon dioxide found in nature, and helping society achieve broader transformations.
