Join Project Drawdown executive director Paul Hawken and his team in the critical effort to reverse global warming.

Project Drawdown is perhaps the most unexpected and hopeful development in the critical effort to reverse global warming.

With a modest budget and little fanfare, a group of 200 scientists and researchers mapped and modeled the 100 most effective ways to draw down greenhouse gas emissions. The Drawdown team did the math to calculate what humanity can achieve with tools already in use around the globe.

Since the findings were published in April 2017, Drawdown: The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to Reverse Global Warming has become a New York Times best seller, prompting hundreds of media reports, events, and new editions worldwide.

Now, there is a need for a collaborative effort to develop tools, training, and curriculum integration to unpack the rich learning opportunities of Drawdown and its data.

In 2018, along with our partners at the PNW BOCES Center for Environmental Education and the Cloud Institute for Sustainability Education, the Omega Center for Sustainable Living is inviting educators, curriculum developers, parents, students, librarians, community groups, researchers, local officials, and other interested parties to learn together and chart a path forward.

Come discuss key linkages to the new science standards (K-12) and explore how Drawdown can be more fully integrated into K-16 education. While fostering youth leadership and civic engagement, discover project-based learning and literacy standards that require students to distinguish facts from opinions, make reasoned arguments, and back them up with evidence.

This 3-day collaborative event begins Friday evening with an in-depth overview of Project Drawdown with executive director Paul Hawken and his team, and continues with interactive breakout sessions.
