‘Powers of 10’ is a new framework identifying scalable opportunities for rapid climate and sustainability actions at individual and global scales. Mark McCaffrey, lead author of Powers of 10, draws on data from Project Drawdown’s examination of key interventions to reduce climate impacts, and looks at further powerful strategies.
McCaffrey is founder and co-focal point of ECOS and is based in Hungary. He has been an environmental activist for many years, helping establish the Boulder Area Sustainability Information Network, a national digital library, and (CLEAN), the Climate Literacy and Energy Awareness Network. He wrote Climate Smart & Energy Wise, published in 2014. Relocating from North America to Europe to pursue international collaboration, he helped launch the Institute for Sustainable Development in Budapest. ECOS focuses on reducing climate risks and maximizing societal and ecosystem resilience through climate education and engagement.
