The Toronto DRAWDOWN program, based on the book by Paul Hawken continues with two summer forums - save the dates!
Two sector summits
Join Unify Toronto for the third and fourth of seven Drawdown sector summits. On July 25, learn about Electricity Generation sector solutions, and on August 29, about Buildings and Cities-related solutions to global warming that are already in place and in action in Toronto.
Discover how you can help empower humanity's response to global warming by accelerating what is already working. By donation.
Project Drawdown has identified, researched and modeled the 100 most substantive, existing solutions to address climate change, grouped into seven sectors. Put together, they reveal a path forward that can roll back global warming by 2050.
In each informative and collaborative evening:
- Learn more about the solutions in those sector identified and modelled by Project Drawdown
- Hear from experts who are making change with related solutions at the individual, corporate and government level:
- Build a long and local vision for accelerating solutions in those sectors in Toronto to their fullest potential
- Offer what you can give and/or request what you need, to help move forward those solutions in Toronto and reverse our greenhouse gas emissions by 2050.
