Overview
- New York Times bestseller - The 100 most substantive solutions to reverse global warming, based on meticulous research by leading scientists and policymakers around the world
"At this point in time, the Drawdown book is exactly what is needed; a credible, conservative solution-by-solution narrative that we can do it. Reading it is an effective inoculation against the widespread perception of doom that humanity cannot and will not solve the climate crisis. Reported by-effects include increased determination and a sense of grounded hope."
-- Per Espen Stoknes, Author, What We Think About When We Try Not To Think About Global Warming
"There's been no real way for ordinary people to get an understanding of what they can do and what impact it can have. There remains no single, comprehensive, reliable compendium of carbon-reduction solutions across sectors. At least until now. . . . The public is hungry for this kind of practical wisdom."
-- David Roberts, Vox
"This is the ideal environmental sciences textbook--only it is too interesting and inspiring to be called a textbook."
-- Peter Kareiva, Director of the Institute of the Environment and Sustainability, UCLA In the face of widespread fear and apathy, an international coalition of researchers, professionals, and scientists have come together to offer a set of realistic and bold solutions to climate change. One hundred techniques and practices are described here--some are well known; some you may have never heard of. They range from clean energy to educating girls in lower-income countries to land use practices that pull carbon out of the air. The solutions exist, are economically viable, and communities throughout the world are currently enacting them with skill and determination. If deployed collectively on a global scale over the next thirty years, they represent a credible path forward, not just to slow the earth's warming but to reach drawdown, that point in time when greenhouse gases in the atmosphere peak and begin to decline. These measures promise cascading benefits to human health, security, prosperity, and well-being--giving us every reason to see this planetary crisis as an opportunity to create a just and livable world.

Professional Reviews
"A rigorous and profoundly important resource." --Donna Seaman, Booklist
"I am blown away by Drawdown . Like hearing an advance copy of Sergeant Pepper , back in the day." --John Elkington, CEO Volans, author and world authority on sustainable development
"Be kindly unto the scientists, for they may just save our skin--and make us happier and wealthier in the bargain. . . . An optimistic program for getting out of our current mess, well deserving of the broadest possible readership." --Kirkus Review
"With a climate-denying party controlling the government, it can seem that there's no hope. . . . But a new book might change that--and serve as a blueprint for what comes next if the U.S. government (and the global community) begins to aggressively focus on altering the climate future. Drawdown is likely the most comprehensive model of climate solutions ever made." --Fast Company
" Drawdown is a magnificent achievement." --Greg Watson, Schumacher Center for New Economics
"A bold plan to beat back climate change based on solutions already within our grasp." --Outside Magazine
"At a time when the Trump administration is working to dismantle much of the nation's efforts to minimize climate change, Paul Hawken's new book swoops onto the scene like a knight in shining armor. . . . The book's release couldn't possibly come at a better time. Refreshingly absent of political analysis, it's grounded in scientific reality and will likely go a long way toward inciting people to action." -- The Portland Tribune
