Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Drawdown: The 100 most substantive solutions to reverse global warming, based on meticulous research by leading scientists and policymakers around the world.

For the first time ever, an international coalition of leading researchers, scientists, and policymakers has come together to offer a set of realistic and bold solutions to climate change. All of the techniques described hereβ€”some well-known, some you may have never heard ofβ€”are economically viable, and communities throughout the world are already enacting them.

From revolutionising how we produce and consume food to educating girls in lower-income countries, these are all solutions which, if deployed collectively on a global scale over the next thirty years, could not just slow the earth's warming, but reach drawdownβ€”the point when greenhouse gases in the atmosphere peak and begin to decline.
