The Georgia Climate Project is a multi-year effort to improve understanding of climate impacts and solutions in Georgia, and lay the groundwork for the state and its residents to take effective, science-based climate action.
We are working with a network of experts across the state to advance three strategic priorities:
Synthesizing what is known and analyzing what is not in order to improve understanding of climate impacts and solutions in Georgia.
Fostering a constructive, nonpartisan discussion about how climate change affects Georgia and what can be done about it.
Working with partners to enable Georgians to take practical steps to respond to climate change and its impacts.
The 2019 Georgia Climate Conference will support and accelerate Georgia's efforts to take practical steps to minimize the risks and maximize the opportunities associated with a changing climate, by bringing together representatives from multiple sectors and areas of expertise to collaborate, raise awareness of work across the state, highlight progress, and identify opportunities to do more.
A multi-stakeholder process to identify and rank the top 40 questions for which answers will benefit climate policymakers, practitioners, and scientists in the state.
Personal stories of what climate change means for Georgians. Produced by students and stakeholders in partnership with universities and media outlets.
A series of town halls convened by Georgia Tech and Emory to explore 'no-regrets' strategies for advancing a clean energy future in Georgia.
A competition where students work with organizations on projects that reduce carbon emissions and save money.
