How does climate change affect Georgia?

Key messages

• Georgia’s climate is changing—in the years to come, scientists expect more heat, rising sea levels, more intense flooding, more drought and more intense storms. These changes bring real risks to Georgians and the natural systems on which we depend.
• Tackling these risks presents real opportunities for Georgia to grow our economy, advance equity, improve public health and protect our environment.
• The goal of this portal—created by Georgians for Georgians—is to share information and resources that can help all of us answer two key questions: What does a changing climate mean for Georgia, and what can we do about it?
