REGENERATION
Ending the Climate Crisis in One Generation
This is the new book by the noted environmentalist and editor of the New York Times bestseller Drawdown: a practical manual of initiatives for all levels of society, from individuals to national governments, to stem the climate crisis in one generation.
Since its publication in 2017, Drawdown has become a key reference work in environmentalism, both in America and around the world. REGENERATION builds upon the success of Drawdown, but while Drawdown was a carefully modeled, well-researched list of environmental efforts, it did not offer the reader or an organization a clear set of practical actions.
REGENERATION explains, in the same format as Drawdown, a guide to what each of us can do - should do - to make changes in ecological, social and economic systems that slow, forestall, and transform the climate crisis in a single generation. The solutions, techniques, and practices detailed are practical, doable, and science-based, and comprise a precise and unequivocal course of action. It is an extensive menu of actions that provides the means to radically reduce individual and collective impacts and move our culture and earth back towards life.
The solutions will cover such general topics as Land (e.g., vermiculture, composting); Forests (peatlands, fire ecology); Wilding (grazing ecology, grasslands, beavers); Oceans (seagriculture, tidal salt marshes); Women (education, women and water); Habitat (building electrification, urban forests); Food (insect extinction, eating trees); Energy (wind, geothermal); Industry (cement, clothing waste); and Agency: What to Do (individual, family, community). REGENERATION will be sponsored by the group One Generation, which will create a series of initiatives to support both the book and the larger effort.
Paul Hawken is an environmentalist, entrepreneur, author and activist who has dedicated his life to environmental sustainability and changing the relationship between business and the environment. He is one of the environmental movement's leading voices, and a pioneering architect of corporate reform with respect to ecological practices. He is the bestselling author of eight books that have been published in 30 languages in more than 50 countries and have sold more than 2 million copies, as well as dozens of articles, op-eds, and other papers concerning the environment, the ethical responsibility of business, and social justice. Hawken is a renowned lecturer who has keynoted conferences and led workshops on the impact of commerce upon the environment, and consulted with governments and corporations throughout the world.
