CHANGE THEORY
We need to fight climate change with a trident to address reducing emissions, removing and managing carbon dioxide, and preparing for climate impacts.
We are past the point of focusing only on the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. Action is also necessary to drawdown carbon from the atmosphere and protect communities from climate impacts. Innovation can help lead the way to restore the climate.
