Drawdown

By Paul Hawken

Categories: Science & Math

Drawdown (2017), edited by environmentalist Paul Hawken, presents one hundred existing solutions for reversing global warming, compiled by a team of researchers and scientists. Each solution, from wind turbines and solar farms to reduced food waste, plant-rich diets, the education of girls and the restoration of forests, is described and ranked by how much greenhouse gas it could remove or avoid by 2050. Essays by writers and scientists accompany the entries, arguing that the tools to reduce emissions already exist.
