Common misconception: Climate change solutions still need to be invented!???
?? 70% of the solutions are already here and ready to scale!
One of my go to research bank for understanding efficiencies of climate solutions is The Project Drawdown! https://drawdown.org/
These top 10 climate tech solutions have high potential when deployed at scale:
1. ??Onshore Wind Turbines: To generate renewable electricity
Reduce 84.6-87.8 gigatons of CO2e emissions by 2050, significant energy capacity contributing to energy security.
For: Utilities, governments, large-scale energy investors
2. ??Utility-Scale Solar Photovoltaics (PV): For clean electricity generation
Reduce 63.6-70.3 gigatons of CO2e emissions by 2050, vast amounts of clean energy and reduced reliance on fossil fuels.
For: Utilities, solar developers, policymakers.
3. ?? Reduced Food Waste: Implement systems and practices to reduce food loss from farm to table
Reduce 87.4-94.6 gigatons of CO2e emissions by 2050, improved food security and economic savings.
For: Households, restaurants, food retailers, policymakers.
4. ??Plant-Rich Diets: Reduce meat consumption
Reduce 65.0-91.5 gigatons of CO2e emissions by 2050, improved public health and reduced agricultural land use.
For: Individuals, healthcare providers, food producers.
5. ??Tropical Forest Restoration: Restore forests to their natural state
Reduce 42.5-58.4 gigatons of CO2e emissions by 2050, enhanced biodiversity and ecosystem services.
For: Governments, NGOs, local communities.
6. ????Silvopasture: Integrate trees into pastureland for livestock grazing
Reduce 31.2-62.2 gigatons of CO2e emissions by 2050, improved land productivity and animal welfare.
For: Farmers, agricultural businesses, land management agencies.
7. ????Rooftop Solar Photovoltaics: Install solar panels of residential and commercial buildings
Reduce 24.6-29.3 gigatons of CO2e emissions by 2050, reduced electricity bills and energy independence.
For: Homeowners, businesses, solar installers.
8.?? Regenerative Agriculture: Restore soil health and sequester carbon
Sequester 22.3-37.0 gigatons of CO2e emissions by 2050, improved soil fertility and crop yields.
For: Farmers, agricultural organizations, policymakers.
9. ??Improved Clean Cookstoves: Replace fossil fuel ones
Avoid 15.8-21.9 gigatons of CO2e emissions by 2050, with health benefits and reduced deforestation.
For: Households, NGOs, development agencies.
10. ????Electric Vehicles (EVs): Increase adoption of electric vehicles for personal and commercial use
Reduce 11.9-15.7 gigatons of CO2e emissions by 2050, decreased air pollution and fossil fuel dependency.
For: Consumers, automotive industry, policymakers.
