Friday food for thought: Roughly 11% of the world’s total greenhouse gas emissions come from deforestation. To put this in perspective, the emissions from the entire United States are roughly 10% of the world’s total. https://lnkd.in/dby-UxZp

The world's leading resource for climate solutions.
About us
Project Drawdown is the world’s leading resource for climate solutions. We are a trusted, science-based, and independent guide for effective climate action across the globe. As a U.S.-based nonprofit organization, our mission is to help the world stop climate change—as quickly, safely, and equitably as possible. Our work is built on three pillars: SCIENCE. First, we conduct cutting-edge research to identify the best possible climate solutions – and to design the most effective strategies to bring them to scale. Then, we share our findings with the world through highly effective science communication, marketing campaigns, and media partnerships. STAKEHOLDERS. Next, we use our science to inform and inspire philanthropists, investors, business leaders, policymakers, community change-makers, and other stakeholders to take bold leadership positions and bring effective climate action to the world. STORIES. Finally, we use the power of storytelling to help shift the narrative on climate change – from problem to solution and from “doom and gloom” toward “opportunity and possibility.” Along the way, we elevate new voices and showcase new climate heroes changing the world. We strongly believe that good science is needed to guide effective climate action. We also believe that science must be shared in actionable and compelling ways – through stakeholder engagement and powerful storytelling. Our job is to make this happen. A 501(c)(3) nonprofit, non-partisan organization, Project Drawdown is funded by individual and institutional donations.

Another exciting project in the works at Project Drawdown to accelerate climate action. Thrilled to be collaborating with the team at Leap | B Corp Design & Impact Agency.
A warm welcome aboard the good Leap ship to the Project Drawdown crew! Project Drawdown is a trusted, science-based, and independent guide for effective climate action across the globe and one of the world’s leading resources for climate solutions. We are very excited to be kicking off some new work this week around a bespoke personal climate action platform, developed in partnership with Dr Kimberly Nicholas. This project will be the first time Project Drawdown moves into the personal side of climate action — ‘what can I do as an individual that will be the most meaningful in relation to tackling climate change?’. Most of us know that feeling of action paralysis that hits when we think about world-sized problem like climate breakdown. This new platform is being created to move past that and help everyone find ways to take action — however they are able to. Appreciation to the Ethical Agency Alliance for connecting us!

Gender equity is one of the most impactful climate solutions & supporting women in leadership is essential - #internationalwomensday
This International Women's Day, let's recognize a critical truth: climate action and gender equality go hand in hand. Women worldwide are at the forefront of solutions, from regenerating land and advancing clean energy to securing food and water systems for their communities. https://lnkd.in/gM6t4eJM #IWD2025 #DrawdownsNeighborhood
