Dr. Katharine Wilkinson is an author, strategist, and teacher, working to heal the planet we call home. Her writings include The Drawdown Review (2020), the New York Times bestseller Drawdown (2017), and Between God & Green (2012), which The Boston Globe dubbed “a vitally important, even subversive, story.” With Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson she co-edited All We Can Save (2020), an anthology of writings by women climate leaders, and co-founded The All We Can Save Project.
As the principle writer and editor-in-chief at Project Drawdown, Dr. Wilkinson leads the organization’s work to share climate solutions with audiences around the world.

A homegrown Atlantan, Dr. Wilkinson holds a doctorate in geography and environment from the University of Oxford, where she was a Rhodes Scholar, and a BA in religion from Sewanee: The University of the South, where she is now a visiting professor. Formative months spent in the Southern Appalachians, as a student at The Outdoor Academy, shaped her path.

“Women of all backgrounds—artists, writers, scientists, policy makers, and others—are at the forefront of climate action, and with this exquisite anthology, marine biologist Dr. Ayana Elizabeth Johnson and editor-in-chief of Project Drawdown, Dr. Katharine Wilkinson, bring their voices together.” |
“Taken together, the breadth of their voices forms a mosaic that honors the complexity of the climate crisis like few, if any, books on the topic have done yet. [...] The book is a feast of ideas and perspectives, setting a big table for the climate movement, declaring all are welcome.” |
“All We Can Save is the environmental feminist text we need right now [...] It's a sorely needed glimmer of hope—a reminder that there is a way out of this mess: collective action. [...] Consider it required reading.” |
“The [...] anthology is an anthem for the world—at once a battle cry and unifying hymn, a mournful melody and a song of salvation that will ring true for generations to come.” |
