Paul Hawken is an activist and author.

Based on rigorous analysis by prominent scientists and politicians from around the world, here are the 100 most substantial ways to reverse global warming.

In the face of widespread fear and apathy, an international coalition of academics, professionals, and scientists has banded together to propose a set of practical and bold climate change solutions. One hundred strategies and practices are detailed in Drawdown, some of which are well-known and some of which you may have never heard of. They range from renewable energy to girls' education in low-income nations to land use strategies that remove carbon from the atmosphere. The solutions exist, they are economically viable, and communities all over the world are putting them into action with skill and dedication. They suggest a viable road ahead if implemented on a worldwide scale over the next thirty years, not simply to halt global warming but also to attain drawdown, the point in time when greenhouse gases in the atmosphere peak and begin to drop. These policies promise a cascade of advantages to human health, security, wealth, and well-being, giving us every reason to view the current global crisis as a chance to create a more just and habitable world.
