From Carissa Patrone (Project Drawdown- Drawdown Lift)

I'm pleased to share that Drawdown Lift launched our new report, Climate–Poverty Connections: Opportunities for synergistic solutions at the intersection of planetary and human well-being and two-page fact sheet last week; you can download both documents on Project Drawdown's website.

This landmark report provides concrete evidence of how climate solutions can also contribute to meeting development and human well-being needs while boosting prosperity for rural communities in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. The Drawdown Lift Human Well-Being Index, introduced in the report, serves as a framework for assessing 12 health, socioeconomic, and societal dimensions of human well-being and highlights evidence of the nexus between climate mitigation solutions and human well-being. The report summarizes the co-benefits of five groups of a subset of Project Drawdown climate mitigation solutions (28 total solutions) for advancing human well-being in rural areas of low- and middle-income countries. Policymakers, donors, non-governmental organizations, and other decision-makers can use this report to promote the socioeconomic co-benefits of climate solutions, mobilize ambitious solutions, and channel funding to meet climate, development, and human well-being needs while boosting prosperity and equity in places that need it most.

I hope you will find the report useful for your work. You're welcome to share it widely within your organization and with your networks around the world.

All the best,
