The Drawdown Roadmap

The Drawdown Roadmap is a strategic framework developed by Project Drawdown to stabilize greenhouse gas concentrations. It argues that while viable solutions exist, an organized plan is required to prioritize investments based on sectoral impact, the compounding effect of early reductions, and geographic 'hot spots'. The plan emphasizes maximizing co-benefits—such as poverty reduction and biodiversity conservation—and eliminating systemic barriers to accelerate the transition to a stable climate.

• The Drawdown Roadmap is a five-part strategic plan created with input from funders, corporate executives, policymakers, and scientists to halt climate change by prioritizing solutions across geography, time, and sectors, while removing barriers and maximizing co-benefits.
• The plan emphasizes that the timing and location of climate solution deployment are critical; early reductions in greenhouse gases compound over time, and efforts should be focused on geographic 'hot spots' for maximum impact.
• To accelerate the transition to a stable climate, the roadmap advocates for the preferential deployment of solutions that provide additional benefits, such as advancing justice, cleansing air and water, conserving biodiversity, and reducing poverty.
