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."

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: bit.ly/4x2yGnz #plantbased
A person is enthusiastically eating a large burger. The image includes text: "The average American consumes the equivalent of six Big Macs of beef a week. (*1.3 lbs)." The background is a textured blue with "Drawdown Insights" at the top.A chart from Drawdown Insights shows greenhouse gas emissions of various proteins. Chicken, fish, soybeans, peas, and nuts are highlighted as more planet‑friendly, protein‑rich food options. The chart suggests choosing these options frees up land and improves health outcomes.The image features a quote from Drawdown Insights on a blue background. It states, "We don't need to quit eating meat, we need to quit overeating beef." Below, it continues, "If richer countries cut beef consumption down to one serving a week and filled the gap with other proteins, global emissions could drop by billions of metric tons."

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 🔗 bit.ly/4bFpi0U
The image is an infographic about data center electricity consumption in the U.S. It highlights a growth from less than 2% to nearly 5% over a decade. Below the text, a graph displays electricity consumption by region, covering 2020–2030. Regions include the United States, China, Europe, Asia excluding China, and the rest of the world. The source is EIA. Bright colors illustrate different regions.The image contains a document titled "Drawdown Insights" discussing the environmental impact of data centers. Key points include high electricity and water use for cooling and being located in resource-scarce areas, affecting local communities.
