The Drawdown Roadmap is a science-based strategy for accelerating climate solutions. It points to which climate actions governments, businesses, investors, philanthropists, community organizations, and others should prioritize to make the most of our efforts to stop climate change.

By showing how to strategically mobilize solutions across sectors, time, and place, engage the power of co-benefits, and recognize and remove obstacles, the Drawdown Roadmap charts a path to accelerate climate solutions before it’s too late.

Food matters: Why climate change may hinge on what we eat and how we grow it

To stop climate and build a sustainable future, food matters – a lot! What we eat and how we grow it is responsible for around 20–35% of human-generated greenhouse gas emissions. 

In this presentation, Project Drawdown executive director Jonathan Foley shares a new framework for addressing climate change from food, agriculture, and land use. In addition, he offers a glimpse into a Project Drawdown initiative launching this year that will bring sharper focus to solutions in this space.
