The 100 most substantive solutions to reverse global warming, based on meticulous research by leading scientists and policymakers around the world.

For the first time ever, an international coalition of leading researchers, scientists and policymakers has come together to offer a set of realistic and bold solutions to climate change. All of the techniques described here - some well-known, some you may have never heard of - are economically viable, and communities throughout the world are already enacting them. From revolutionizing how we produce and consume food to educating girls in lower-income countries, these are all solutions which, if deployed collectively on a global scale over the next thirty years, could not just slow the earth's warming, but reach drawdown- the point when greenhouse gases in the atmosphere peak and begin to decline. So what are we waiting for?

Review

A bold plan to beat back climate change based on solutions already within our grasp ― Outside Magazine

It will give you the best kind of hope, the kind that balances realism with radical vision . . . Drawdown stands out among the many recent climate books . . . This is a breakthrough book, and even its omissions are instructive. There really is a way forward, and these days, it's great to see this rather basic fact demonstrated with such astonishing focus and brio ― The Nation

Book Description

The 100 most substantive solutions to reverse global warming, based on meticulous research by leading scientists and policymakers around the world.

Fascinating book

Reviewed in Australia on 23 June 2018

Verified Purchase

If you want to be part of the solution to global warming, you need all the facts, and that's what this book gives you.
This book details each initiative into mitigating of carbon, and tells you the pros, cons, and overall benefit of each solution. The book gets to point very quickly on each issue and has interesting facts and background information, so you can understand the context of what exactly the world is dealing with. It also had really good pictures, so you can see what you are reading about.
After reading this book you get a real understanding of the conversion of energy, in all its forms.

I had no idea so very much is being done to solve our problems. Uplifting - despite the many governments that aren't taking action to limit climate change - there are groups and organisations and individuals taking their own action. Such an important book for people like me that care but feel relatively helpless. Particularly inspiring the forestry and agriculture sections. My only criticism - the type is slightly too small and is not printed in black (I think it is a shade of grey). The spacing between the lines is very good and helps to mitigate the type size. Other than that it's a breathtaking book.

There are practical things that can be done to ameliorate the human part of climate change

Reviewed in Australia on 4 March 2020

Verified Purchase

The outline of the technologies is clear and interesting. As an experience it is both encouraging and discouraging. Encouraging because much of what needs to be done is not all that complicated. But the way in which these practical changes are likely to be ignored is discouraging

This book provided me with the mental map of a grand strategy against global warming. Until I read it, my mind had not connected the dots.

A comprehensive book of all of the different ways we can impact climate change. The book helps us understand what we can do at a political, organizational, community and individual level to make a positive impact.

Extremely disappointing

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 7 January 2019

Verified Purchase

If you need a feel-good coffee table book, then this is it. If you're after real, properly documented descriptions of realistic solutions addressing the climate catastrophe, then this book is a waste of trees. The book does not even begin to explain the calculations behind the emission reduction claims. The proposed solutions are also in no specific order, which is very odd. You'd think they would sort the solutions by possible impact, but no..

Everyone should read this

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 15 May 2018

Verified Purchase

So much literature on global warming is focused on the catastrophic and apocalyptic consequences of our actions. This book flips it to what we can do, and gives hope for the future through some science based, tangible, realistic improvements which can help secure our future on this planet. This book isn’t for tree huggers, it’s for anyone who has a stake in humanity sticking around in a habitable world for the long term. 10/10

One of the most useful books I have ever read

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 February 2019

Verified Purchase

The authors due not gloss over the potential looming disaster that climate change represents.They do present a granular analysis of the muliple causes of climate change and potential solutions and mitigations. It is informative, empowering and ultimately hopeful. I learned loads and was particularly struck by the many win/win solutions that can reduce emissions, improve biodiversity, improve the lives of poor communities and/or save money over all. Potentially a book to inform the diference any one can make through life style changes, giving money and campaigning. Also a very good book for young adults or students thinking about career and other life choices.

The best book on solutions for global warming

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 August 2019

Verified Purchase

I love this book. The authors painstakingly compiled research to identify and quantify the impacts of the top 100 solutions to not only stop climate change, but to go beyond and reverse it. Hugely optimistic and ambitious, but grounded in reality. They made a huge effort to err on the conservative side with their projections of the future. The best bit? - Contained within this book is a blueprint to stop and reverse global warming in the next 30 years. Using EXISTING technology. Now we need the political will to make it happen.
