About PROJECT DRAWDOWN

Project Drawdown develops, synthesizes, and promotes science-based solutions to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and draw down atmospheric greenhouse gases. The organization maintains an online solutions library, publishes research and educational content, and partners with businesses, investors, educators, philanthropies, and policymakers to accelerate high-impact climate action. In the past 2–3 years Project Drawdown has expanded its applied programs—especially Drawdown Labs and Drawdown Learn—producing practical frameworks, job-function action guides, and educational units designed to help organizations and individuals implement high-leverage climate solutions. The organization operates as a donor-facing 501(c)(3) based in Saint Paul, Minnesota and makes its Form 990s and research publicly available.
