User:MaryMO (AR)/sandbox/Key climate solutions
This list of Key climate solutions is based on the table of solutions from The Drawdown Review (see also Drawdown (climate)).[1] Ayana Elizabeth Johnson identified a short list of selected topics from Drawdown in a TED talk, often simplifying or rephrasing terms, to emphasize individual action. The terms she focused on are cited as shown here:[2] If a Wikipedia article did not exist, possible related topics are listed. More general topics may not address importance as a climate solution.
