Want to make America healthy again? Stop fueling climate change From extreme heat to mosquito-borne illnesses, climate change is making people sicker and more vulnerable to disease. Health scientists explain what individuals and governments can do about it.

Such an important argument now. We're not making anyone healthier by continuing to fuel climate change.

Ignoring science, ignoring climate change, and ignoring environmental health harms everyone's health.

Really proud of our team at Project Drawdown.

We just launched the biggest thing we’ve ever done β€” by far.

A billion times more data than anyone has ever collected before, providing localized intelligence on 150+ climate solutions.

For free.

Today, we launched the biggest thing that Project Drawdown has ever done -- the Drawdown Explorer.

It is the world's *ultimate* guide to effective climate action.

The latest data, the best science... brought down to actionable *here and now* recommendations.

It's good to see adaptation at the forefront of the Bonn Climate Conference. As Dan Jasper writes, "given the risks to human lives and rapid pace of emissions, globally agreed-upon methods for measuring progress on adaptation are urgently needed" 🌍

Great read ahead of these talks and #COP30!

Weather forecast for Minneapolis today indicating smoke.

Forecast for today is β€œSmoke”.

If this is our new normal in a climate changed world, children are going to be spending many summer days cooped up inside. They do not deserve the planet we are bestowing upon them.
