Drawdown: the most comprehensive plan ever proposed to reverse global warming: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Drawdown: the most comprehensive plan ever proposed to reverse global warming" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

The 100 most substantive solutions to reverse global warming, based on meticulous research by leading scientists and policymakers around the world. 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 earths warming but also 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.

Drawdown is a message grounded in science; it also is a testament to the growing stream of humanity who understands the enormity of the challenge we face, and is willing to devote their lives to a future of kindness, security, and regeneration. The young girl here is from the Borana Oromo people, who reside in the Nakuprat-Gotu Community Conservancy in northern Kenya. Her picture has been our talisman, calling us daily to the work that we do.

FOREWORD

Sometimes, when a concept or institution reaches its logical conclusion, the world looks at the results and cries: Never again. For really bad ideasfrom totalitarianism to fossil fuel dependencesaying never again isnt enough. Humanity needs other, better ideas to take their place. Thats where we are today. We know we cant avoid the cataclysmic impacts of global warming by only focusing on achieving zero net carbon emissions; we must also rapidly re-sequester carbon. Drawdown by identifying and researching dynamic, innovative solutionscreates the playbook for this urgent goal.
