6/19/2023 0 Comments Define drawdown in sustainability![]() Project Drawdown’s research shows the world can reach drawdown by mid-century so long as global interests make the best use of all existing climate solutions. Employees can demand a more expansive view, one that taps every company’s leverage points and the passion of every employee to scale climate solutions available right now, dramatically boosting expectations for business climate leadership around the world. Today’s definition of business climate leadership centers on companies doing less harm, gradually reducing their emissions-and the damage they cause-over time. This type of vague, long-term target only works if every company makes the same commitment with a shared deadline-a highly unlikely prospect. Over the years, “net zero” has shifted from a collective goal to a leadership position from individual companies. In its infancy, “net zero” was meant to embody a long-term climate goal used by entire countries to track Paris Agreement progress-a global goal to reach net zero by 2050 to keep increased warming to 1.5☌. Climate Solutions at Work is a playbook for employees-no matter what you do or where you work-to help your business take bolder climate action.” Pushing beyond “net zero” “But the scope and scale of the climate challenge calls on all of us to find our inroad. “Inside most businesses, only a handful of people with ‘sustainability’ in their title consider climate issues as part of their work day,” says Jamie Beck Alexander, Director of Drawdown Labs. This free, easy-to-browse guide is available today. Readers can explore their company’s enormous untapped potential for climate action by finding their inroad-regardless of job function-to moving their company toward the world’s best science-based climate solutions. Climate Solutions at Work, presented by Project Drawdown, creates a new standard of business climate leadership, driven by employees equipped to take bolder action at work, making every job a climate job. Drawdown Labs, a program of the nonprofit organization Project Drawdown, aims to help global employees step into their power and shift the private sector beyond “net zero” as quickly, safely, and equitably as possible. The private sector, with its vast resources, must play a crucial role in this transformation-and employees can help lead the charge. In the wake of the most recent headline-making IPCC report, the need for sweeping climate transformation has never been more apparent. ![]()
