Marine permaculture with kelp forest ecosystems for example is such a scalable innovation that might have impact on natural CO2 storage as well as reversing ocean acidification. The mission for the next decades is to scale up these innovative projects and ideas. Nothing new needs to be invented, yet many more solutions are coming due to purposeful human ingenuity. While the looming but omnipresent Anthropocene has an even wider impact than climate change, it is certain that combatting climate change is paving the path for addressing multiple other Anthropocene themes or Planetary Boundaries, such as is illustrated by the Innovations chapter in Drawdown, the envisioned solutions on top of the 100 established and already functioning solutions. The techniques and practices described range from clean energy to educating girls in lower-income countries to land use practices that pull carbon out of the air. What is uncovered in Drawdown is a path forward that can roll back global greenhouse gas emissions within thirty years. Make one believe that change is now in our own hands. Solutions that combat global warming are presented are really stimulating and But the nice tone and great detail with which each of the 100 Their behavior? How people react in times of transition is a question that goesīeyond this book. Sometimes the discussion on climateĬhange overwhelms the stage, while loss of biodiversity and ocean acidificationĪre equally in danger as planetary boundaries. Newspaper, news bulletin or media outlet reports on a daily basis on theĮffects of human impact on the environment. It has been difficult to envision this possibilityīecause the focus is overwhelmingly on the impacts of climate change. Scientists, did not make or devise the plan-the plan exists and is being TheĪuthors, an international coalition of researchers, professionals, and The most comprehensive plan ever proposed to reverse global warming.
