What’s a Climate Solution, What Isn’t, and Why: An inside look at Project Drawdown’s new solutions assessment
October 30, 2024, 10:00 am to 11:00 am
Everyone’s talking about climate solutions. But what exactly makes something a climate solution? Who figures out if it’s truly a solution, and how?
In this Drawdown Ignite presentation, Amanda D. Smith, Senior Scientist for the Built Environment, will explain how Project Drawdown evaluates technologies and practices with the potential to be global climate solutions. She will introduce a new evidence-based framework Project Drawdown has developed to identify proven climate solutions and quantify their potential for turning the tide on climate change.
You’ll get an insider look into the work happening right now at Project Drawdown to apply this framework and create an updated and actionable assessment of more than 80 impactful climate solutions. You’ll come along on a step-by-step journey through our climate solutions assessment framework, learning what information and data we’re gathering and why. You’ll get critical context around identifying when, where, and by whom various solutions can best be applied. Finally, you’ll get a sneak peek of what to expect when Project Drawdown releases our new climate solutions resources in 2025.
If you are advocating for, investing in, developing, researching, or deploying climate solutions, this is an essential webinar. And if you’re not doing any of these yet, this presentation will provide the foundation you need to join the climate solutions movement.
