About this product

Product Information

In Drawdown, renowned environmentalist Paul Hawken has assembled a team of over 200 scholars, scientists, policymakers, business leaders and activists to illustrate the hundred most substantive solutions to combat climate change that together will not only slow down the growth of carbon emissions, but reverse them altogether. Put into action together, these solutions will mobilise society into taking the climate change conversation from problem definition to problem solving, from fear and apathy to collaboration and regeneration.

Reviews
"At this point in time, the  Drawdown  book is exactly what is needed; a credible, conservative solution-by-solution narrative that we can do it. Reading it is an effective inoculation against the widespread perception of doom that humanity cannot and will not solve the climate crisis. Reported by-effects include increased determination and a sense of grounded hope." --Per Espen Stoknes, Author,  What We Think About When We Try Not To Think About Global Warming "A rigorous and profoundly important resource." --Donna Seaman, Booklist "I am blown away by  Drawdown . Like hearing an advance copy of Sergeant Pepper , back in the day." --John Elkington, CEO Volans, author and world authority on sustainable development "Be kindly unto the scientists, for they may just save our skin--and make us happier and wealthier in the bargain. . . . An optimistic program for getting out of our current mess, well deserving of the broadest possible readership." --Kirkus Review "With a climate-denying party controlling the government, it can seem that there's no hope. . . . But a new book might change that--and serve as a blueprint for what comes next if the U.S. government (and the global community) begins to aggressively focus on altering the climate future.  Drawdown  is likely the most comprehensive model of climate solutions ever made." --Fast Company " Drawdown  is a magnificent achievement." --Greg Watson, Schumacher Center for New Economics "A bold plan to beat back climate change based on solutions already within our grasp." --Outside Magazine "At a time when the Trump administration is working to dismantle much of the nation's efforts to minimize climate change, Paul Hawken's new book swoops onto the scene like a knight in shining armor. . . . The book's release couldn't possibly come at a better time. Refreshingly absent of political analysis, it's grounded in scientific reality and will likely go a long way toward inciting people to action." -- The Portland Tribune, Praise for Paul Hawken's  Blessed Unrest :   "Exciting, compelling, and very important . . . It will inspire and encourage millions more to take action." --Jane Goodall, UN Ambassador for Peace, "At this point in time, the  Drawdown  book is exactly what is needed; a credible, conservative solution-by-solution narrative that we can do it. Reading it is an effective inoculation against the widespread perception of doom that humanity cannot and will not solve the climate crisis. Reported by-effects include increased determination and a sense of grounded hope." --Per Espen Stoknes, Author,  What We Think About When We Try Not To Think About Global Warming "A rigorous and profoundly important resource." --Donna Seaman, Booklist "It will give you the best kind of hope, the kind that balances realism with radical vision. . . . Stabilizing the climate system will require a heroic global effort, but the point here is only to show that . . . such an effort can do more than merely succeed; that it can succeed well, and open into futures that we can actually bear to contemplate." --Tom Athanasiou, The Nation "[Paul] Hawken is attempting to infuse the climate debate with his own tenacious optimism--powered by authoritative, useful information. . . . Rather than view ourselves as victims, [we] could see climate change as the ''gift'' that could drive civilization toward a more harmonious relationship with nature." --Ken Edelstein, Mother Nature Network "I am blown away by  Drawdown . Like hearing an advance copy of Sergeant Pepper , back in the day." --John Elkington, CEO Volans, author and world authority on sustainable development "Be kindly unto the scientists, for they may just save our skin--and make us happier and wealthier in the bargain. . . . An optimistic program for getting out of our current mess, well deserving of the broadest possible readership." --Kirkus Review "With a climate-denying party controlling the government, it can seem that there''s no hope. . . . But a new book might change that--and serve as a blueprint for what comes next if the U.S. government (and the global community) begins to aggressively focus on altering the climate future.  Drawdown  is likely the most comprehensive model of climate solutions ever made." --Fast Company " Drawdown  is a magnificent achievement." --Greg Watson, Schumacher Center for New Economics "This is one of the most powerful, hopeful, world-changing documents. A deeply peer reviewed, fully win-win, nearly no-regrets pathway . . . with a surprising ranking of the most important and impactful solutions. Paul Hawken''s simple, elegant genius in leading this approach, can inspire rapid, catalytic action. " --Andy Lipkis, TreePeople "A bold plan to beat back climate change based on solutions already within our grasp." --Outside Magazine "At a time when the Trump administration is working to dismantle much of the nation''s efforts to minimize climate change, Paul Hawken''s new book swoops onto the scene like a knight in shining armor. . . . The book''s release couldn''t possibly come at a better time. Refreshingly absent of political analysis, it''s grounded in scientific reality and will likely go a long way toward inciting people to action." --The Portland Tribune   " Drawdown  is likely the most hopeful thing you''ll ever read about our ability to take on global warming." --Joel Makower,  GreenBiz   "This book is a beautiful, inspiring, and deeply satisfying read. Most importantly it is no more doom and gloom. It is OPTIMISTIC and empowering. Paul Hawken is a true visionary and a brilliant voice for real solutions." --Jessica Rolph, Founding Partner, Happy Family "It''s so brilliant . . . a showstopper." -- Donald A. Falk, PhD, Asso ciate Professor School of Natural Resources and the Environment, University of Arizona, "With a climate-denying party controlling the government, it can seem that there's no hope . . . But a new book might change that--and serve as a blueprint for what comes next if the U.S. government (and the global community) begins to aggressively focus on altering the climate future.
