Drawdown Georgia is an organization dedicated to combating climate change and significantly reducing Georgiaâs carbon footprint by the year 2030 based on solutions tailored to Georgiaâs unique social, economic and natural resources.
Founded by the Ray C. Anderson Foundation in 2019, Drawdown Georgia combines the efforts of academics statewide, including UGAâs Marshall Shepherd, Jacqueline Mohan, Puneet Dwivedi, Sudhagar Mani and Jeff Mullin.
Between 2019 and the end of 2020, Drawdown Georgia operated phase one of its mission, in which experts from across the state came together to research and analyze the best possible solutions to reduce carbon emissions for the specific needs of the state. Phase two began Jan. 1, 2021 and looks to implement these solutions and evaluate their effectiveness.
