Central to the project is the compilation of a list of the \"100 most substantive solutions to global warming.\" The list, encompassing only technologically viable, existing solutions, was compiled by a team of over 200 scholars, scientists, policymakers, business leaders and activists; for each solution the carbon impact through the year 2050, the total and net cost to society, and the total lifetime savings were measured and modelled.\n\nPaul Hawken has edited the book Drawdown: The most comprehensive plan ever proposed to reverse global warming to support the Project. {{W|Drawdown (climate)}}\n\n== Carbon literacy ==\n\n{{Wikipedia excerpt|Carbon literacy}}\n\n== Open CO2 ==\n\nOpen CO2 is a project to help crowdsource open carbon accounts for local communities worldwide.

The local currency, when accepted for trade by other members or local businesses, thereby rewards participants for their efforts at global warming prevention. These currencies may have various degrees of convertibility into carbon saved, renewable energy, or national currency. {{W|Emissions Reduction Currency System#Community based currency schemes}}\n\n== Climate-friendly gardening ==\n\n{{Wikipedia excerpt|Climate-friendly gardening}}\n\n== Sustainable cooling ==\n\n<div class=\"grid\">\n\n{{Video\n| video = 557608251\n| platform = Vimeo\n| title =\n# ThisIsCool - Making Sustainable Cooling a Reality\n| authors = SEforALL, ''2.05 mins.''\n| date = 2021-06-01\n}}\n\n</div>\n\n* [https://thisiscool.seforall.org/ This Is Cool], campaign showing what can be done across the world to make sustainable cooling a reality\n\n{{Wikipedia excerpt|Air conditioning|Alternative options for cooling}}\n\n== Other climate change solutions ==\n\n* ending subsidies for fossil fuels\n* ending laws mandating car use\n* meat pricing, see also [[Food activism]]\n* animal husbandry\n* [[Renewable energy]], see also [[Community energy]]\n* [[Circular economy]]\n* [[Sustainable transport]], see also [[Sustainable transport activism]]\n* [[Passive House]], [[Passive solar design]]\n\n{{Community climate action footer}}\n\n'''See also''': [[Climate change solutions UK]], [[Carbon literacy]]\n\n{{Localtopic}}\n\n{{CASwiki footer}}\n\n'''External links'''\n\n* [[Wikipedia:Carbon price]]\n* [[Wikipedia:Passivhaus]]\n* [https://permies.com/f/238/ Carbon Farming forums] at [https://permies.com Permies.com]\n* [https://permies.com/t/scale Wheaton Eco Scale]at [https://permies.com Permies.com]\n\n{{Page data\n| license = CC-BY-SA-3.0\n}}\n\n[[Category:Climate change]]\n[[Category:Climate action]]"}
