"In the face of widespread fear and apathy, an international coalition of researchers, professionals, and scientists have come together to offer a set of realistic and bold solutions to climate change. One hundred techniques and practices are described here--some are well known; some you may have never heard of. They range from clean energy to educating girls in lower-income countries to land use practices that pull carbon out of the air. The solutions exist, are economically viable, and communities throughout the world are currently enacting them with skill and determination. If deployed collectively on a global scale over the next thirty years, they represent a credible path forward, not just to slow the earth's warming but to reach drawdown, that point in time when greenhouse gases in the atmosphere peak and begin to decline. These measures promise cascading benefits to human health, security, prosperity, and well-being--giving us every reason to see this planetary crisis as an opportunity to create a just and livable world"

This is an attempt to collect and summarize the most urgent threat we are facing on earth right now: global warming. The author goes to expand over the industries with the most damaging effect on the environment and looks into the specifics of technologies being used to reduce the carbon footprint in those sectors. Very informative for those wanting to understand more about this complex and important phenomenon challenging the status quo of human existence on earth.
