Cimate solutions are here. Now what?
About this episode
Can we actually fix climate change? And if so -- how?
This week, I handed Talking Climate over to climate scientist and Project Drawdown executive director Jonathan Foley.
His message is simple: yes, we can.
🥗 Good News: From cutting food waste to protecting forests to improving how we farm, many of the solutions already exist. They just have to be scaled.
‼️ Not-So-Good News: Political leadership is faltering, corporate momentum is slowing, and climate journalism continues to shrink. Yet clean tech from solar to heat pumps are becoming cheaper and more competitive every year.
💡 What YOU Can Do: Don't just focus on your carbon footprint—focus on your climate superpowers. Need help finding them? Project Drawdown's SHIFT platform, developed with Kimberly Nicholas, helps individuals identify actions that can create the biggest ripple effects.
