Drawdown : the most comprehensive plan ever proposed to reverse global warming

Hawken, Paul (editor.).

Summary: In "Drawdown," renowned environmentalist Paul Hawken has assembled a team of over two hundred scholars, scientists, policymakers, business leaders and activists to illustrate the hundred most substantive solutions to combat climate change that together will not only slow down the growth of carbon emissions, but reverse them altogether. Put into action together, these solutions will mobilise society into taking the climate change conversation from problem definition to problem solving, from fear and apathy to collaboration and regeneration.
