Drawdown: Solving the Climate Crisis with Paul Hawken

Internationally renowned for his work in finding solutions to the climate crisis, Paul Hawken is the founder of non-for-profit Project Drawdown. Based on extensive research, the book Drawdown is a collaborative effort involving 200 researchers and advisors who came together to model the most substantive solutions to reverse global warming. This talk will discuss the huge challenge we are facing through biodiversity loss and climate change. But more importantly, drawdown is about going beyond net zero to giving back more than we take, putting life at the centre of every action and decision.

Joining us virtually: Paul will be joining us on screen from the US to keep our greenhouse gas footprint down.
