Description:
Our mission is to help the world reach “drawdown”—the point in the future when levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere stop climbing and start to steadily decline, thereby stopping catastrophic climate change—as quickly, safely, and equitably as possible. Drawdown Lift works to deepen collective understanding of the links between climate change solutions and poverty alleviation, particularly in low- and middle-income countries in Africa and South Asia. The Lift team seeks to help address both extreme poverty and climate change by collaboratively identifying, promoting, and advancing solutions designed to catalyze positive, equitable change. Though research in interconnected, overlapping areas of concern—reducing poverty and addressing climate impacts—should go together, work often exists in silos. Drawdown Lift works to break down disciplinary walls and find solutions that can address climate change and extreme poverty and lead to enhanced human well-being around the world. Drawdown Lift works alongside academic researchers, practitioners, and changemakers interested in achieving evidence-based, high-impact poverty alleviation and climate solutions worldwide.
Project Drawdown’s work continues to highlight climate solutions that directly benefit human well-being—including Health and Education, Improved Clean Cookstoves, Indigenous Peoples’ Forest Tenure, Sustainable Intensification for Smallholders, and more. Drawdown Lift spotlights drawdown solutions and explores linkages among these solutions and their potential to improve lives and advance evidence of the nexus among climate mitigation solutions, poverty alleviation, and human well-being.
