The climate crisis is urgent, so it’s critical that the solutions are fast-acting and effective.
Building upon thousands of hours of analysis by scientific experts from around the world, the Drawdown Explorer provides detailed information on the many technologies and practices proven or proposed to effectively reduce greenhouse warming pollution in the atmosphere.
The Drawdown Explorer analyzes solutions in four categories:
- Highly Recommended: solutions that meet all of Project Drawdown’s criteria for global climate solutions
- Worthwhile: solutions that can still help mitigate climate change but do not meet the scale to be considered a major climate solution
- Keep Watching: solutions that have potential but are not yet available in the real world – or the technology still lacks clear effectiveness, evidence, or a reasonable cost – and are not yet ready to be deployed
- Not Recommended: solutions that, at the end of the day, we do not recommend as a climate solution, either because they are not scientifically plausible or they present a high level of risk.
Browse the full complement of Drawdown Explorer solutions, or filter by criteria of your choice using dropdowns or the table format. Then click through to individual solutions to get a close-up view of current and potential impact – including, for recommended solutions, the optimal timing, cost, additional benefits, interactive maps showing where action can have the greatest impact, and specific advice for how you, whatever your role, can best put the solution to work.
