Drawdown® Explorer | Project Drawdown®
Welcome to Drawdown Explorer
Project Drawdown’s old “Solutions Library” has been sunset to make way for the new Drawdown Explorer, a game-changing platform providing science-based insights into how we can deploy the world’s most effective climate solutions for greatest impact. Please take a look and check back regularly for additions and updates.

Drawdown
Explorer
The world’s ultimate climate solutions platform
We know
what
we need to do: stop climate change as quickly as possible. Now, with the Drawdown Explorer, we know
how
to do it, too.
Building upon thousands of hours of analysis by scientific experts from around the world, the Drawdown Explorer provides detailed information on the many technologies and practices proven or proposed to effectively reduce greenhouse warming pollution in the atmosphere.
The Drawdown Explorer analyzes solutions in four categories:
Highly Recommended:
solutions that meet all of Project Drawdown’s criteria for global climate solutions
Worthwhile:
solutions that can still help mitigate climate change but do not meet the scale to be considered a major climate solution
Keep Watching:
solutions that have potential but are not yet available in the real world – or the technology still lacks clear effectiveness, evidence, or a reasonable cost – and are not yet ready to be deployed
Not Recommended:
solutions that, at the end of the day, we do not recommend as a climate solution, either because they are not scientifically plausible or they present a high level of risk.
Browse the full complement of Drawdown Explorer solutions below, or filter by criteria of your choice using dropdowns or the table format. Then click through to individual solutions to get a close-up view of current and potential impact – including, for recommended solutions, the optimal timing, cost, additional benefits,  interactive maps showing where action can have the greatest impact, and specific advice for how you, whatever your role, can best put the solution to work.

From Science to Solutions
The climate crisis is urgent, so it’s critical that the solutions are fast-acting and effective.
Drawdown Explorer identifies and characterizes the most effective climate solutions that can address climate change on a meaningful scale today. It also provides valuable insights into proposed solutions that are not viable, not impactful enough, or not yet ready for prime time.
