Bay Area climate hero Grace Anderson founded The Lupine Collaborative with a vision to support Black women, non-binary, and transgender people with financial and social capital to dream, ideate, and create the climate-just futures they want to see. The lupine, which inspires Grace Anderson’s work, is a nitrogen-fixing plant, also known as facilitator plants because they are so critical to primary succession. They are often the first plants to re-establish in nutrient-deprived and depleted areas.

The world's leading resource for climate solutions.
About us
Project Drawdown is the world’s leading resource for climate solutions. Our mission is to help the world stop climate change—as quickly, safely, and equitably as possible. To do this, we pursue three key strategies: Advance Effective, Science-based Climate Solutions and Strategies. We do the science no one else does to cut through the noise and find effective “whole system” solutions and strategies for stopping climate change. Foster Bold, New Climate Leadership. We inform, inspire, and empower business leaders, investors, and philanthropists to take bold, new positions, act more strategically, and rapidly bring climate solutions to scale. Promote New Narratives and New Voices. We work to shift the conversation about climate change from “doom and gloom” to “possibility and opportunity.” And we elevate new, underrepresented climate heroes through storytelling and “passing the mic.” A 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Project Drawdown is funded by individual and institutional donations.

What an honor to connect with young climate leaders in Cameroon today, representing Project Drawdown and our storytelling and engagement program! So proud of the youth I connected with, and thankful for FXB International, African Voices for Africa's Forests, the Mandela Washington Fellowship, IREX, and all those who paved the way for this chance to connect. Special gratitude to Cameroonian storytellers and climate advocates EWI STEPHANIE LAMMA and Beverly Ndifoin, who I was able to reference and recognize in my talk. Everyone has a story and everyone has power when it comes to #climatechange and #climatesolutions! (Photo credit Ewi Lamma, Karina L. Weinstein, and the organizers of the #ReciprocalExchangeProgram.)

Laura Lara Rodriguez, a seasoned employee at 3M, was called to action after becoming a mother. 🩷 She’s been with the company for about a decade, starting initially in product and technology development and now coordinating teams as Research and Development Program Manager. 👩🔬 “What really draws us to climate action might not be climate itself but the things in our lives that give us meaning and are important to us. Take the time to understand what motivates people and show them how climate is connected.” Laura spoke with Project Drawdown employee engagement lead, Aiyana Bodi, about her “existential calling to do more” after becoming a mother and helping lead 3M’s global, employee-led effort to make every job a climate job.

Who’s in? 🙋
What if billionaires just bought everyone a heat pump? I jokingly suggested this a while ago. Matt Simon at Grist then thought about it and wrote a great article. https://lnkd.in/gn-q8XC5

Powerful NGOs are helping to spread Big Meat's propaganda. Excellent investigative reporting by Kenny Torrella for Vox Media. "Jonathan Foley, an environmental scientist and executive director of the climate research group Project Drawdown, said the regenerative narrative that nature can heal much of livestock’s environmental impact has political and cultural power that is as significant as it is distorting. Scenes of cattle grazing in beautiful grasslands and interviews with humble farmers can be highly effective propaganda: It’s “Americana,” and “the apple pie and the flag all rolled into one,” he said. “It’s a very powerful set of symbols” — one that the meat industry has used to its benefit, with help from some of the world’s most powerful environmental groups." https://lnkd.in/eWRvSDMk #climatesolutions #projectdrawdown

Have you read the latest on regenerative grazing? 👀🐮 by Jonathan Foley
Regenerative grazing has been overhyped as a climate solution, and has been used to greenwash the livestock sector. But we should probably do some of it anyway. https://lnkd.in/gmEFADm9

There are powerful lobbies with a vested interest in promoting regenerative grazing as a “silver bullet” climate solution. So is this just hype and greenwashing or is regen grazing a legitimate climate solution? The science confirms that building soil carbon is beneficial for many reasons, and we should do it wherever we can. However, there are some fundamental reasons why we should be cautious about relying on soil carbon sequestration as a primary climate solution.
