🚨 Scientists have been warning for more than a century that catastrophic weather events were inevitable if humanity kept emitting GHG's. But is it worse than even they expected? Climate scientist @drkatemarvel.bsky.social shares her expert perspective in our latest Insights: https://bit.ly/4wsYPMw
Red meat production accounts for 30% of global food-related emissions but generates only 5% of dietary calories or 2% of the global protein supply. That's why Project Drawdown researcher @enviroem.bsky.social calls it the coal of the food system: https://bit.ly/4x2yGnz

Climate-friendly alts to beef aren't just limited to veggies, and legumes? Replacing beef with fish, chicken, or other animal proteins can go a long way in reducing the carbon footprint of your diet. Learn more from Research Associate, @enviroem.bsky.social: https://bit.ly/4x2yGnz #plantbased
Insect farming start-ups have been on a roller coaster ride. 🎢 In the ups and downs, one perspective has been scarce: Is it a climate solution? The evidence we’ve collected says NO. Dive deeper here 👉 https://bit.ly/3ThlWuR #edibleinsects #sustainablefood #climatesolutions
Electric seated scooters and motorcycles are an efficient, fun, and sometimes thrilling way to get around town! 🛵 At their full adoption and effectiveness potential, this could avoid 0.77% of global emissions. Check out all the ways you can tap into this zippy solution! 👉 https://bit.ly/4wfZqB0
It's been almost 1 year since we launched Drawdown Explorer! From journalists to professors, we already know it's become a go-to source of climate solutions information for many. But how are YOU using it? Let us know in the comments 👇 Or email us at: info@drawdown.org - we read every message. 📧
You are not the only one who cares about climate, and here is the proof! 🌍 In just a few weeks since the launch of the community portal, 258 of you have completed over 2000 actions. Let's see who else we can get up on the map! Summer of '26 is a great time to 👉 jointheshift.earth #climateaction
Data centers can't come at the cost of our health and climate progress. In 2020, data centers were less than 2% of U.S. electricity use. Today, they're nearly 5% and growing. This is impacting our health and climate goals. Read more from @amandadsmith.bsky.social 🔗 https://bit.ly/4bFpi0U
This is just a partial view of solutions! Check out the drawdowm.org/explorer for more and stay tuned for additional solutions currently being researched.
💰 $18 trillion is about to flow into philanthropy over the next two decades, as part of the largest generational wealth transfer in history. It is essential that capital is guided by science, not just good intentions. 🔗 To read more by @amandabielawski.bsky.social: https://bit.ly/4foVSq8
The extreme heat we are experiencing around the world is anything but natural. 🚨 For information on how to stay safe during a heatwave, make sure to check out this guide from the Red Cross 🔗 https://rdcrss.org/4vcsLv3 🚨 For more information on solutions 🔗 drawdown.org #projectdrawdown #heatwave
"Our research shows that the most effective approach to climate action is for people to make change within societal systems, not just as consumers. After all, what are systems made of if not people?" - @kimberlynicholas.bsky.social Have you tried SHIFT? Drop us a line below! jointheSHIFT.earth
🌾 The soil beneath our feet can help our climate Improve Annual Cropping is a climate solution that currently avoids roughly 0.81% of global emissions. It's also a unique case where what's good for soil is good for farmers and the climate at once. Learn more → https://bit.ly/4oV5tbi
A lot of people ask us: "What's the #1 climate solution?" 🌍 Our answer is always the same: there isn't one. Our reasoning is simple: meaningful climate action requires nearly all of them, working together, across every sector. Dig into the full dataset → drawdown.org/explorer #ProjectDrawdown
SHIFT has shifted! The updated website now includes: ⭐️ Community building ⭐️ Progress tracking ⭐️ Easy to access resources Check it out! jointheshift.earth We'd love to hear about the climate actions you are taking! Let us know in the comments below 👇
The data is in: More countries around the world than you might think have already reached peak emissions, and some high-income countries like the United States and Japan are seeing sizeable drops in emissions. Read the full article and download the maps and charts for free! 📊 https://bit.ly/4eu408s
What happened to solutions such as "Family Planning" or "Indigenous Land Management"? Sr. Scientist Amanda Smith explains that, to create a more standardized framework for solutions across sectors, the definition needed to be tightened and a new section (co-benefits) created. https://bit.ly/4fHuR1U
In the next Ignite, join @katharinehayhoe.com and @globalecoguy.bsky.social as they explore what it takes to connect, communicate climate science, and where to look for meaningful action. REGISTER TODAY! https://bit.ly/4uh69sN
🛟 Impactful climate solutions exist in the ocean. But as Project Drawdown fellow Christina @hydrochristina.bsky.social has learned, the nature-based solutions are not the ones that will move the climate needle fastest on a global scale. Read more: https://bit.ly/43U8nU2 #worldoceansday
We are excited to share that Executive Director, @globalecoguy.bsky.social will be speaking at @trellisgroup.bsky.social Trellis Impact 26 (June 23–25, San Francisco). 1,500+ leaders across climate, finance, and tech focused on scaling real solutions. Register today! 🔗 https://bit.ly/4uGkoZi
Exciting things are ahead for Project Drawdown! 🌍 This week, folks are gathering in Stillwater, Minnesota, for our annual team retreat. We'll be a bit quieter and slower to respond, but big plans are in the works, so we'll be back with lots to share. 💚 🐢 📸 @globalecoguy.bsky.social #RemoteTeam
A low-cost reversing valve added at manufacturing is all that stands between your heat pump doing double duty. ❄️🌡️🌞 Every new or replacement AC can double as a heating system. Homes with existing furnaces could keep them as backup. Read more by Heather McDiarmid, Sr. Fellow: https://bit.ly/4fbUmYR
Enough calories are produced on the world’s croplands to feed 14.5B people. However, only half of those calories make it to our plates. Why? Learn more in the latest Insights ✍️ @paul-west.bsky.social, @enviroem.bsky.social, @jamesgerber.bsky.social 🔗 https://bit.ly/4nIwluF #ClimateFood

Plugging methane leaks across oil and gas operations is an Emergency Brake climate solution that SAVES money by using a fuel that would otherwise go to waste. In the future, we will need much less oil and gas. For now, stopping methane can buy us more time. https://bit.ly/4tCEhip
Does packing lighter make a difference? @globalecoguy.bsky.social and @kimberlynicholas.bsky.social answered: ✈️ Flying less matters far more than how you pack 💺 Bigger levers: fly economy (2–5x lower footprint than business/first class) and book direct https://nyti.ms/4dfJTJi
