This event showcases Paul Hawken’s new book Regeneration: Ending The Climate Crisis in One Generation, a compelling and practical response to the urgency of the climate crisis. We invite you to visit the new website Regeneration.org to learn more. It builds on his 2017 book Drawdown: The Most Comprehensive Plan Ever Proposed to Reverse Global Warning, a rigorous scientific research project to map, model and measure existing solutions with the potential to help humanity reach ‘drawdown’ by 2050 - the point in time when the concentration of greenhouse gases in the Earth’s atmosphere begins to decline year after year.

As Paul says, Regeneration has two meanings. It refers to regenerating life on earth. And it refers to a new generation of humanity coming together to reverse global warming.”

This 90-minute event features Paul Hawken in conversation with three important and exciting Canadian environmental voices - Allie Rougeot (co-founder of Fridays For Future Toronto and a program manager at Environmental Defence) and Bryanna Brown (Inuk Community Support Worker and Indigenous rights and climate justice activist at Indigenous Climate Action), and Drawdown Alberta’s co-founder Melanie Hoffman (Program Manager at the Alberta Council for Environmental Education). We are inspired by the unique experiences and perspectives each of them brings to the discussion.

Drawdown Toronto and Water Docs have worked together for years. Drawdown movements across Canada recognize the importance of local, community-based action to realize national climate goals. We want to build connections and break out of separation to ensure a world that is healthy for the children of all species for generations to come.

“Regeneration is a response to the urgency of the [climate] crisis, a determined what-to-do manual for all levels of society, from individuals to national governments and everything and everyone in between. It describes a system of interlocking initiatives that can stem the climate crisis in one generation.”
