Science: the drawdown science team works to identify the most effective solutions and strategies, and serves as trusted thought leaders in the global climate solutions space. We conduct cutting-edge research to identify the best possible climate solutions and design the most effective strategies to bring them to scale. Despite the importance of food systems in the global climate challenge, effective solutions in this space receive only 3% of climate funding. Our drawdown food initiative is working to change this by creating and sharing science-based plans to address climate change in the food, agriculture, and land-use sector. Drawdown food's work empowers policymakers, community leaders, businesses, investors, philanthropists, and others to deploy the most impactful climate actions across the global food system. Drawdown explorer will be what the climate movement has been missing: an all-encompassing platform using the best available data to provide decision-makers with actionable, localized intelligence on the most effective climate solutions. Built upon trillions of data points and thousands of hours of analysis by top scientists, drawdown explorer will be the definitive guide to effective climate action, highlighting emergency brake solutions that can rapidly reduce emissions, geographic hot spots to maximize impact, and benefit clusters that simultaneously provide additional benefits to people - improved health, economic vitality, security, more - and nature throughout the world. We have already had a reach of over 10 million online views of the drawdown explorer teaser video to date.

Drawdown labs: unlocking the full potential of our climate solutions requires sharing science-backed solutions in actionable and compelling ways. We use our science to inform, inspire, and empower key stakeholders and emerging climate leaders - including policymakers, community leaders, philanthropists, investors, business leaders, and others - to take bold action and bring the most effective solutions to the world. We help rapidly accelerate global climate investment by showing the world what is possible, and most effective in addressing climate change. The drawdown capital coalition works with impact investors, philanthropists, and their advisors to guide private capital into more strategic, science-based climate solutions. And with the support of our partners, we identify other actions - such as advocating for new policies, pursuing critical research, or advancing public communication - that can also help scale climate solutions. To date, this work has helped guide billions of dollars toward more effective climate solutions. Through project drawdown's job function action guides, we are empowering employees to take climate action while at work and help their companies implement climate solutions. We host interactive training programs that help climate-passionate employees engage their employers in scaling climate action. Finally, recognizing the critical importance of individual climate actions, we are collaborating to launch shift, a game-changing new tool for climate-conscious individuals seeking guidance for taking the most effective, science-based personal climate action possible - at home, at work, and in their communities.

Additionally, our drawdown stories and drawdown lift programs contributed to our 2024 accomplishments. Drawdown stories: we use the power of storytelling to help move the narrative on climate change and inspire the vision of a more hopeful future. Our storytelling work is igniting change by highlighting everyday people across america - and the world - who are stepping up to advance climate solutions in their communities. Drawdown stories includes drawdown's neighborhood and the global solutions diary. Through these, we showcase climate heroes putting solutions into action - across america and the world. Drawdown lift: in 2024, drawdown lift evolved into drawdown nexus, a program we're using to create a broader vision for climate action, identifying powerful synergies between stopping climate change, halting biodiversity loss, and improving human well-being. Exploring these connections, we will build a robust, evidence-based framework change-makers around the world can use to identify and prioritize actions that simultaneously abate climate change, protect nature, and enhance human well-being
