While much of the world has started to commit to serious climate action, denial, delay, and apathy over the years have nevertheless cost us precious time. Today, reaching the aspirational 1.5 ̊C target of the Paris Accords may no longer be possible; even stopping climate change at 2 ̊C is looking difficult.

But we can accelerate progress by taking more effective action and focusing on so-called “Emergency Brake” climate solutions – especially those focused on short-lived pollutants.

In this session, Jonathan Foley, Ph.D., Executive Director, Project Drawdown, and Stephan Nicoleau, Board Chair, Project Drawdown, will explain the untapped power of Emergency Brake solutions and explore how they can help “bend the curve” on near-term warming. Recognizing that a systematic scientific review of Emergency Brake solutions does not yet exist, they will discuss how Project Drawdown is addressing this unmet need through careful scientific analysis, deep stakeholder engagement, and a robust communications campaign to help bring Emergency Brake solutions deeper into the mainstream. Currently, Project Drawdown is evaluating the potential of 50–60 effective Emergency Brake solutions that can be deployed in tandem or individually to curb and delay future warming.
