Drawdown: The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to Reverse Global Warming

"I’ve talked about how much I respect and admire the solutions-based approach in some of the books in my list, and it’s something that very much infuses the whole spirit of my book How to Spend a Trillion Dollars , but definitely one of the greatest examples of this is Project Drawdown, which lays out in detail dozens of different strategies for getting to zero carbon emissions and meeting the goals of the Paris Agreement of 2015. It’s an incredible piece of work, with the input of hundreds of scientists, and an incredible inspiration. Every politician around the world should read this, and every policy maker and CEO and teacher. It shows how not only is it possible to get to net zero, but that it saves us money . This is the surprising thing I found in my book too – in many cases, spending hundreds of billions of dollars, even when you give that money away, pays for itself a few years down the line. Nowhere is that more striking that in paying now for climate solutions. Since Drawdown was published it has been updated and there is a detailed resource at drawdown.org ."
