We covered a lot of ground this #climateweeknyc We were especially proud to launch Drawdown Capital because if there's one thing we know, it's that deploying significant capital toward climate solutions must be led by science. That's where we'll see real impact. drawdown.org/drawdown-cap...

The idea that "regenerative" grazing is a climate solution has really taken hold in some quarters. But the science is clear: It doesn't work. Methane and land-use emissions just overwhelm any soil carbon benefits. Here's a great piece by @nicholasdcarter.bsky.social drawdown.org/insights/eig...

People are always surprised to learn that packaging, processing, and transportation are almost always small contributors (<10%) of food-related GHG emissions. The TYPE of food we eat -- meat versus plants -- is a MUCH bigger factor.
Bar chart of greenhouse gas emissions associated with the lifecycle production of different foods. Beef and lamb are the highest emitting. Farm-level emissions and land use change emissions are the greatest contributors to lifecycle food emissions.

How can we make climate policy work for us? In his latest Insights, policy expert Dan Jasper highlights 3 key ways that we can improve the process: bit.ly/3RKLmAJ #projectdrawdown #climatepolicy #climateaction
Floating U.S. dollar bills above a stylized image of the United States Capitol building, with bold red vertical bars in the background. Text on the image reads, "How do we fix climate policy?"The image is an informational graphic titled "Drawdown Insights." It has a red section labeled "Follow the Science," which lists "The Problem" as short-term policy goals versus a comprehensive long-term view of science. "The Solution" suggests removing CO₂ tunnel vision by addressing other greenhouse gases, focusing on impactful short-term solutions, and implementing structural changes like public transportation and electric vehicles.The image is a flyer titled "Pave the Way" by Drawdown Insights. It highlights a problem, stating that policymakers are too reliant on individuals and businesses to take the lead. The solutions proposed include improving intergovernmental coordination, cutting red tape, redirecting subsidies away from polluting industries toward climate solutions, and using public funds to pave the way for action. The text features a red banner and icons of an alarm and a check mark.Engage the Public graphic from Drawdown Insights. The image highlights a problem and a solution. Problem: "Climate solutions fail when the community is not involved in a meaningful way." Solution: "Communities often have legitimate concerns about land use, systems transformation, and new technologies coming to their community, all of which could mean a loss of income, culture, history, and anxiety about who will truly benefit. Proactively co-designing solutions avoids frustrations down the road."
