• Climate Action Pilot Training Program Application

    Want to supercharge your climate action? Join Project Drawdown for a new, free six-week online initiative. Apply by October 8th!
  • This fall, Project Drawdown is piloting a new way to help people take climate action – and we want you to be part of it.

    We’re inviting adults across the United States, especially people who care about climate change but aren’t sure where to begin, to join a free, six-week online pilot program. Together, participants will connect with other climate-concerned individuals, explore five climate superpowers from our Super High-Impact Initiative for Fixing Tomorrow platform, go deeper into the science of climate solutions, and take meaningful next steps in their own lives and communities.

    The live online workshops will take place Tuesdays, October 13 through November 17, from 7:00 to 9:00 PM ET.

    Participants can expect:

    • Six live, two-hour virtual sessions
    • Practical exploration of one SHIFT superpower each week
    • Guest speakers and real-world examples
    • Small-group conversation and reflection
    • Simple between-session action experiments
    • Opportunities to help shape the training beyond the pilot through feedback

    You don’t need to be a climate expert or already be taking climate action to join. We’re looking for people who are curious, ready to learn alongside others, and willing to help us shape a new initiative focused on individual and community climate action.

    Applications are open through Thursday, October 8, 2026.

    With that said, we anticipate a high volume of applications. If your application is accepted, we will notify you by Friday, October 9, 2026. Thank you for submitting a thoughtful application.
