Some climate solutions are ready to scale today. Some are promising but not yet proven. Others sound exciting in headlines but don’t hold up to the science﹣or carry too many risks ⚠️.
That’s why the Drawdown Explorer exists. It rates solutions across four categories (from Highly Recommended ✅ to Not Recommended ❌) based on thousands of hours of rigorous global scientific analysis.
✨ Explore the solutions, see how they rank, and cut through the noise: /explorer

Project Drawdown has always been the world’s leading guide to science-based climate solutions 🌏.
With the new Drawdown Explorer, we’re moving beyond describing solutions → to spotlighting breakthrough strategies for accelerating climate action.
Built on trillions of data points and expert analysis, the Drawdown Explorer is the definitive guide to effective climate action, highlighting:
✨ Emergency brake solutions that can rapidly reduce emissions ✨ Geographic hotspots to maximize impact
✨ Multipliers that simultaneously improve human and environmental well-being
This is the platform the climate movement has been missing. The Drawdown Explorer represents the most powerful platform yet for advancing climate solutions, ensuring that every dollar, every resource, and every moment moves us closer to a world without a climate crisis.

@wirecutter asked climate scientists: Does packing lighter reduce your emissions when you fly?
Jonathan Foley and Kimberly Nicholas answered:
✈️ Air travel can be a very high source of carbon emissions for some Americans, and flying less matters far more than how you pack.
🧳 Skipping a checked bag helps a little, but it's a small win. Don't let it become "environmental busywork" that distracts from bigger action.
💺 Bigger levers: fly economy (2–5x lower footprint than business/first class) and book direct
🪄 "Moral licensing" is real: making a small green choice can trick you into thinking you've earned the right to fly more.
The real impact comes from the big shifts we can make, both as individuals and as communities, not the luggage scale.
How are you thinking about travel this year?

Every morning, a quiet revolution peeks through your window. ☀️ The sun has been supplying Earth with everything it needs to grow and thrive for billions of years.
Now, humans have harnessed that power with greater precision and effectiveness than ever before.
Deploying utility-scale solar PV could reduce GHG emissions by an amount equivalent to 15% of global emissions over the next 20 years. That is one powerful climate solution!
It also reduces air pollution, lessens water demand, and saves you money.
Currently, limiting factors are capital (#investors, looking at you!💰), skilled workers, and fossil-fuel subsidies.

Even experts might miss this.
With so much attention given to CO₂ and fossil fuel production and consumption, some of the biggest opportunities are often left out of the climate solutions conversation.
Project Drawdown has published four charts that expand beyond the traditional narrative to help you maximize the impact of your climate action.
💡 How could these charts inform your work and investing? What stood out or surprised you? Let us know in the comments!
👉 Check out the article by Jonathan Foley & James Gerber and download the full-size charts! 🔗 in bio

20-30% of global greenhouse gas emissions.
🌍 That’s how much the food system contributes to climate change when you combine the food, agriculture, and land use sectors as well as indirect emissions such as transportation.
We know there is no stopping climate change without radically reshaping our food system. But that doesn't mean we all need to become vegan or start growing our own food.
🎯 It means targeted applications of proven solutions where they are needed most. Improve fertilizer management in India, manage rice in Southeast Asia, protect forests in Brazil, shift diets in the United States - these are just some of the key ways we can start reducing food's impact on our climate.

Less than 2% of global philanthropy goes toward climate action. At San Francisco Climate Week, Project Drawdown and Climate Lead brought together philanthropists and impact investors to ask a simple question: What becomes possible when climate capital meets rigorous science?
The answer: a lot more.
Key insights from the conversation with Jennifer Kitt (Climate Lead), Jennifer Caldwell (Caldwell Fisher Family Foundation), and Ernest Chow (Private Impact Investor):
🌎 Science can tell us not just which solutions work, but where and when to deploy them for maximum impact.
🕒 Time, location, and co-benefits matter enormously.
🤝 No single funder can close the gap alone. Collaboration across the capital stack, from philanthropy to impact investing to public funding, is how we will accomplish our goals.
The Drawdown Explorer now catalogs 100+ climate solutions ranked by impact, cost, and co-benefits. It exists precisely to help decision-makers move faster and smarter.
Capital is out there! Science can show us where to aim it for maximum impact.

Earth Month ends today. But the reasons people showed up - from the Azores, from cities, from coastlines and forests, those don't expire. Thank you to everyone who shared their #WhyClimate this month. The conversation continues. 🌍
Last week, Project Drawdown was at San Francisco Climate Week. Our climate solutions summit reached capacity, and the energy in the room was undeniable! The support of the climate solutions community has been invigorating, to say the least.
In San Francisco, we had the opportunity to spotlight Project Drawdown's work: The Drawdown Explorer, Food and Climate, SHIFT, and building on partnerships work at all levels.
But the sessions in our climate solutions summit reveal a much bigger picture: that climate solutions aren't just good for the planet. They're good for people. Cleaner air. Better health. Lower energy bills. Visions for a more peaceful, equitable world. And that's why people are showing up, more and more each year.
