Meet Dr. Foley

Dr. Foley is a leading climate scientist, sustainability expert, educator and public speaker.  His work focuses on finding solutions to sustain the climate, ecosystems, and natural resources we all depend on.

* Project Drawdown is the world’s leading resource for climate solutions. Its mission is to help the world reach “Drawdown”— the point in the future when levels of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere stop climbing and start to steadily decline, thereby stopping catastrophic climate change — as quickly, safely, and equitably as possible.

For an introduction to the topic, explore the Project Drawdown website at

https://www.drawdown.org , where you can watch “Climate Solutions 101,” a series of six short and impressive videos hosted by Jonathan Foley. You can also check out the book Drawdown, edited by Paul Hawken.

This event is co-hosted by the Central Minnesota Chapter of The Climate Reality Project, https://www.climaterealitymsp.com/ and by the Climate and Environmental Justice team at Plymouth Congregational Church, https://www.plymouth.org/ .
