New tools to help find effective ways to fight climate change
Дата публикации: 10-08-2026 11:52:26
A nonprofit organization called Project Drawdown hopes to make it easier to find effective climate solutions, with a pair of free online tools designed to connect people with solutions that fit their interests, skills, and resources.
One of those resources is the Drawdown Explorer, an online platform developed by climate scientists, communication experts, and sustainability professionals.
“It’s a platform where we provide detailed information on over a hundred climate solutions right now, with more coming out every week,” said Dr. Sarah Gleeson, project lead for Drawdown Explorer.
The tool allows users to explore climate actions, learn where and how to implement them, and understand their potential benefits for people and the environment.
Gleeson said a key goal of the platform is helping people recognize that climate action is not limited to scientists, policymakers, or environmental organizations.
“A big tenet of what we work on is showing how certain people may be very directly involved with certain climate solutions, but pretty much every climate solution can be really advanced by anybody,” Gleeson said.
She believes society already has many of the technologies and strategies needed to address climate change and says the challenge is putting them into practice.
Another resource developed by Project Drawdown is called SHIFT, a web-based guide focused on individual action.
“SHIFT is a web-based guide that helps individuals find the most effective climate actions that they can personally take in their part of the world and using whatever resources they have on hand,” Gleeson said.
For people in Connecticut, one of the most impactful climate actions highlighted by Gleeson is the protection and restoration of forests and other ecosystems.
According to Gleeson, every acre of protected forest can prevent more than 500 kilograms of carbon dioxide equivalent emissions, roughly equal to the emissions from driving a gasoline-powered vehicle about 2,000 miles.
Project Drawdown says its goal is to help communities, organizations, and individuals identify practical solutions that can have a measurable impact on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and building a more sustainable future.
