We don't start with the problem. We start with what works.
Project Drawdown was founded on a simple but radical premise: the solutions to climate change already exist. They are proven, available, and scaling across the world right now. Our work is to find them, measure them, model them — and make the knowledge freely accessible to anyone who needs it. The result is the world’s most comprehensive open-source database of science-based climate solutions, covering everything from onshore wind and regenerative agriculture to educating girls and reducing food waste.
“Drawdown” names the moment when greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere stop rising and begin to fall. We believe that moment is achievable — not through a single breakthrough, but through the simultaneous scaling of hundreds of interconnected solutions. That’s what our Drawdown Explorer, Roadmap, and Nexus tools are built to support: navigating the whole system, not just the loudest parts of it.
We won’t pretend this is primarily a place of inner transformation or community practice. It’s a map — rigorous, open, and kept current. But maps matter. And when the territory is as complex as the climate crisis, having a trustworthy map can be the difference between scattered effort and coordinated movement. If you’re looking for where to act, what to fund, or how to make the case — this is a place to start.
