Is it possible to reverse climate disruption? Join us for an inspiring conversation on this crucial question with Amanda Ravenhill, Executive Director of Project Drawdown.

 

Project Drawdown is an all-out effort to answer this question in the positive. It has brought together a broad coalition of researchers, scientists, graduate students, PhDs, post-docs, policy makers, business leaders and activists to assemble and present the best available information on climate solutions, in order to describe their beneficial financial, social and environmental impact over the next thirty years.

 

If you’ve been feeling disheartened about climate disruption, this is the salon to regain your enthusiasm and feel encouraged again by what is possible.

 

Amanda will share with us not only some of the constellation of solutions Project Drawdown is researching, but how we can all be engaged in turning the corner on climate disruption, and achieving drawdown, the point at which greenhouse gas levels begin to decline.
