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.”

Clean energy journalism for a cooler tomorrow.
Canary Media is an independent, nonprofit newsroom covering the transition to clean energy and solutions to the climate crisis. We report on how the world is decarbonizing — in electricity, transportation, buildings, and industry — with a critical focus on finding out what works and what doesn’t. Through uncompromising reporting, our journalists dig into the ways policymakers, businesses, investors, and communities are moving toward a clean and equitable energy future.

Fishbanks is a multiplayer web-based simulation in which participants play the role of fishers and seek to maximize their net worth as they compete against other players and deal with variations in fish stocks and their catch. Participants buy, sell, and build ships; decide where to fish; and negotiate with one another. Policy options available to instructors include auctions of new boats, permits, and quotas.

Winner of the 2022 Gold Medal at the International Serious Play Awards. Now available in English or Spanish.
Learners play the role of the General Manager of a 500-room, 4-star city-center hotel with the goal of reaching net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. As a first major step, the hotel needs to reduce its emissions by 50% over the next 7 years and at the same time optimize its financial performance. Each year, learners must prioritize and select up to 3 initiatives from a wide-ranging and evolving list that impact the hotel’s emissions and business performance. Initiatives are divided into energy, purchasing, and management categories. Learners must also make management decisions about expenditure on staff environmental awareness training and guest communication. Feedback is provided to learners in terms of the hotel’s emissions and their underlying drivers (including energy and water consumption, waste generation, food consumption and purchased products), as well as the hotel’s financial performance after each round of decisions. Altogether, the hotel’s emissions are reduced through a combination of technical solutions and behavioral changes by staff, customers and suppliers. Business performance is impacted through investments in initiatives, changes in operational costs, and potential improvements in revenue per available room (RevPAR). To take into account recent technological developments or to tailor the simulation to specific local conditions, instructors are able to tailor key settings of the simulation, including the location of the hotel (London, Mumbai, New York, Rio de Janeiro, Singapore) and other model parameters (including the efficiency of solar panels, emissions associated with electricity consumption, and embodied carbon of purchased products).
