Speakers:
Jonathan Foley, Ph.D., Executive Director, Project Drawdown
Stephan Nicoleau, Board Chair, Project Drawdown
While much of the world has started to commit to serious climate action, denial, delay, & apathy over the years have nevertheless cost us precious time. Today, reaching the aspirational 1.5 C target of the Paris Accords may no longer be possible; even stopping climate change at 2 C is looking difficult.
But we can accelerate progress by taking more effective action & focusing on so-called Emergency Brake climate solutions - especially those focused on short-lived pollutants.
In this session, Jonathan Foley, Ph.D., Executive Director, Project Drawdown, & Stephan Nicoleau, Board Chair, Project Drawdown, will explain the untapped power of Emergency Brake solutions & explore how they can help bend the curve on near-term warming. Recognizing that a systematic scientific review of Emergency Brake solutions does not yet exist, they will discuss how Project Drawdown is addressing this unmet need through careful scientific analysis, deep stakeholder engagement, & a robust communications campaign to help bring Emergency Brake solutions deeper into the mainstream. Currently, Project Drawdown is evaluating the potential of 50-60 effective Emergency Brake solutions that can be deployed in tandem or individually to curb & delay future warming.
