From Climate Reality to Project Drawdown is a fact-finding/way-finding event that balances realism of Climate Change with the practical solutions currently at work with Project Drawdown and the Buckminster Fuller Institute. The density and intensity of the presentations inspires action. Be prepared to find your own voice and amplify the work of the team of experts already on the front lines of climate solutions.
At any given moment, it is easy for one to become discouraged and even hopeless. Malcolm Walter has recently completed Al Gore’s Climate Reality Leadership training and will explore with attendees the current state of Climate Change and Policy as he asks the questions of if humanity can change and whether we will do so. Amanda Ravenhill, who worked tirelessly on Project Drawdown, a comprehensive plan to reverse global warming, through the implementation of the 100 most substantive, existing solutions to address climate change. Amanda, will present some of the leading solutions laid out within Drawdown. Read more on Malcolm and Amanda below. Following a Q&A session, attendees will have the hands on opportunity to learn more specifics from experts and work to identify individual contributions to this important work. The intention is for all guests to leave feeling poised to take action.

The challenge will last April 4 - April 25, and there is no limit to the ways you can engage in categories such as Electricity Generation, Food, Women and Girls, Buildings and Cities, Land Use, and Transport.
