Climate Change In Georgia

More than 10 million people live in Georgia – and the climate crisis is already impacting communities around the state. Here are five ways climate change is impacting the state of Georgia:

• Extreme heat and storms

• Droughts

• Wildfires

• Sea-level rise

• Urban and coastal flooding

Drawdown Georgia is the first state-centered effort to crowd solve for climate change. With leadership from the Ray C. Anderson Foundation, the Drawdown Georgia road map was created by a working group of academic partners that includes Georgia Tech and the University of Georgia. These solutions are tailored to Georgia’s unique natural, economic, and social resources. These solutions will get Georgia on the road to a significant emissions reduction.

Drawdown Georgia identifies 20 high-impact solutions across five main categories:

1. ELECTRICITY

2. BUILDINGS & MATERIALS

3. FOOD & AGRICULTURE

4. LAND SINKS

5. TRANSPORTATION
