I think we need to stop putting so much emphasis on federal governments and international negotiations. Yes, they could help. But they've failed us badly during the last 30+ years.

Maybe we can put a bit more attention on community-based solutions, affordable decarbinization tools, and markets?

At #COP30, Project Drawdown partner Global Methane Hub is asking attendees to pull the emergency brake on climate change by stopping the super-pollutant methane at its sources across agriculture, waste, and energy. 🚨

Maybe we should reconsider the notion that the politicians and diplomats were going to save us?

A great summary of why farming insects for protein is probably not a solution to our food security and environmental challenges…

While it might have a niche role, it’s not nearly as effective as other solutions - plant-based diets, reducing food waste, etc.

Food and agriculture are responsible for 22-34% of the world’s greenhouse gas emissions, yet they get far less funding or media attention than other sectors.

In Southeast Asia, food and agriculture emissions are 54% of emissions. And, thankfully, visionary leaders are starting to focus on them.

Stopping deforestation is one of the best things we can do for climate, nature, and people worldwide. But it still doesn’t get the attention or funding it deserves.

And that’s why we prioritize it in the new Drawdown Explorer.

Insulating our buildings is a climate solution.

And we can also make more climate-friendly insulation materials.

Win-win!

Temps are finally starting to drop in the Northern Hemisphere.🌡️ So we hope it’s helpful to know that deploying alternative insulation materials is a Highly Recommended climate solution!

Did you know that over *half* of the GHG emissions from Southeast Asia come from deforestation & agriculture?

We can't solve climate change without taking these seriously.
