State of the Climate: Looking back at 2023 and ahead to 2024

• In 2024, Project Drawdown will double down on our efforts to accelerate adoption of proven climate solutions with five bold new initiatives based on greatest opportunities to gain traction:
  • Drawdown Food Initiative – a new effort focused on high-impact opportunities to reduce emissions in the food, agriculture, and land use sector
  • Drawdown Biodiversity Initiative – groundbreaking work aimed at advancing solutions that address climate change and protect biodiversity at the same time
  • Drawdown Capital Coalition – a recently launched project to bring scientific expertise to investors’ and philanthropists’ decisions about where to best target funds for maximum climate mitigation
  • Global Solutions Diary – a new user-generated video series that will provide people around the world who are working on solving climate change a chance to share their stories and inspire others to act
  • Changing the Conversation – a major international advertising campaign to elevate hope and inspire climate action across countries, communities, and cultures.

As we lean into these new initiatives, we’ll continue to accelerate ongoing efforts focused on deploying climate solutions as quickly, safely and equitably as possible. We encourage you to help by following this work as it unfolds, sharing it with others, offering expertise and insights, and bringing additional ideas to the table.

A brighter future is possible, and together we can – and will – make it a reality.
