IPCC report underscores Urgent need to ramp up Drawdown Solutions
https://drawdown.org/solutions
Earlier this week, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released a sobering report sharing the latest knowledge on climate change impacts, adaptation, and vulnerability. In the report’s own words, “The science is clear. Any further delay in concerted global action will miss a brief and rapidly closing window to secure a liveable future.”
With severe impacts already underway, it’s critical we work NOW to minimize future harm and avoid change that exceeds our ability to adapt. What to do? Take a look at Project Drawdown’s 80-plus climate solutions; identify which you can help move forward at home, in your community, or at work; and then take the first step. Engage a colleague or friend by sharing Climate Solutions 101 and Project Drawdown Dialogues and encouraging them to share with others. Explore opportunities at the intersection of climate change and critical issues such as human rights and biodiversity. Commenting on the report’s findings, UN secretary general Antonio Guterres noted, “It is essential to meet the goal of limiting global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees.” Together, we can achieve this daunting but critical goal.
