The Drawdown Explorer uses trillions of data points and thousands of hours of scientific analysis to offer an unparalleled insight into effective environmental processes, policies and measures.
The Drawdown Explorer was launched during Climate Week NYC in September, and includes a wealth of information on climate solutions. This ranges from basic costs and scale, to delivery speed, results timescales, geography, and additional benefits.
According to the team responsible, the aim is to give decision-makers insights and guidance on help advance emergency brake solutions to rapidly reduce emissions, understand the importance of focusing on geographic hotspots, and identify benefit multipliers. This is particularly important given the rise of climate scepticism and push-back against the perceived ‘cost of net zero’ and other ecological programmes.
‘We need to focus on the most effective, science-based solutions that truly move the needle on climate change,’ said Project Drawdown Executive Director Jonathan Foley, Ph.D.. ‘We built the Drawdown Explorer to provide the insights necessary for better, smarter climate action, ensuring every dollar, every resource, and every moment brings us closer to a world without a climate crisis.’
This month has seen a number of grave warnings issued about the decline in global ecosystems, nature and climate balance. The UK Government has been warned to prepare for 2C of warming across the planet by 2050, far exceeding the Paris agreement’s target. Meanwhile, the University of Exeter has published a new report suggesting the first planetary tipping point has now been crossed with vast numbers of reef being lost and potential irreparable damaged impacted on marine life.
