Project Drawdown is the world’s leading resource for climate solutions. Their mission is “to help the world reach ‘drawdown’—the point in the future when levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere stop climbing and start to steadily decline, thereby stopping catastrophic climate change—as quickly, safely, and equitably as possible." Please join us as we welcome Crystal Chissell, Drawdown Communities Senior Director, for an evening of conversations and insights about climate actions and how we can all be a part of the solution.
