Announcing Drawdown Georgia-Higher Ed

July 21, 2021

We are proud to announce Drawdown Georgia-Higher Ed, an initiative launched this summer under the guidance of the Georgia Climate Project! Inspired by Drawdown Georgia, which has identified the most impactful levers for large-scale emissions reductions across the state, Drawdown Georgia-Higher Ed recognizes that colleges and universities have the potential to act immediately on a wide variety of Drawdown Georgia solutions.
In its initial phase of work over the next year, Drawdown Georgia-Higher Ed will focus on three key areas:

(1) Highlighting examples of higher education’s leadership in climate action

(2) Curating open access curricular resources to assist in training the next generation of climate leaders

(3) Compiling existing greenhouse gas emissions inventories, institutional goals for emissions reductions,and best practices for climate action planning at higher education institutions.

Each of these components will work together to promote and accelerate Georgia’s higher education institutions as leaders in Georgia on climate mitigation strategies.
