Drawdown Alberta
Climate Solutions to Build a Resilient & Thriving Alberta
Drawdown Alberta strives for implementation of the Project Drawdown climate solutions with and within communities to build a resilient & thriving Alberta.
Moving Climate Solutions Forward
Albertans of all ages, backgrounds and interests – wherever they live in the province – can help move climate solutions forward.
If you’re concerned about climate change but don’t know what you can do about it, knowledge and solutions already exist.
Collaborating Together
To implement the solutions, it’s a question of us working together.
The sooner we do this, the better for our province’s environment and economy, and our own health and well-being.
About Drawdown Alberta
Drawdown Alberta communicates to Albertans who are concerned about climate change. We provide information on how Project Drawdown solutions apply to Alberta, and what groups are already working to make those solutions a reality.
