Climate Change Strategies

Audience

All of Saybrook Community 

Description

Based on the ground-breaking book Drawdown, this simulation takes groups through a process of identifying carbon reduction and sequestration strategies to help countries and communities comply with the Paris Climate Accord. Participants first review the 40 most powerful proven available strategies identified in the research and then, based on cost and feasibility, build a package of strategies designed to meet an agreed upon carbon reduction goal. Through this activity participants become aware of the various methods available and, ultimately, their impact on global carbon reduction. The workshop can be completed on line within 2 hours.

 Outcomes

 As a result of this simulation, participants will:

 · Examine the global sources of carbon emissions as well as understand natural sinks and discuss the geopolitical and economic ramifications of carbon emissions.

 · Become familiar with the reduction and mitigation solutions research has determined are the most effective at relieving the atmospheric carbon load.

 · Build a coherent and cost-effective plan for reducing carbon emissions within their own sphere of influence.
