Chad Frischmann defines "Drawdown" as the point when greenhouse gas concentrations begin to decrease, leading to global cooling and reversing the climate crisis. His team identified existing technologies and practices that, collectively, can achieve this goal. By reframing climate change as a symptom, we can better focus on root causes and solutions. For instance, reducing food waste, responsible for 8% of global emissions, plays a significant role in reaching this pivotal point.

Frischmann, co-author of *Drawdown* and VP of Project Drawdown, works to build a regenerative future. This talk was presented at a TEDx event. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx.
