Solutions for a Changing Climate

Each Drawdown Georgia solution has a strong track record, is cost-competitive and ‘market-ready.’ By bringing what’s possible into focus, Drawdown Georgia puts us on a path to a low-carbon, high-quality of life future for all.

The Science of What’s Possible

We love geeking out over our potential to dramatically reduce greenhouse gas emissions in Georgia, and we have a feeling you will too. Click "Explore" on the State of Georgia graphic to see what’s possible. Our Carbon Reduction Visualizer allows you to see where emissions in the state are headed under the status quo -- and how that trajectory will change as our solutions begin to scale.

Every color-coded wedge represents how each solution can contribute ambitious, but achievable, emission reductions. It helps us visualize what’s possible, and we believe if you can see it, you can achieve it. These calculations are a work in progress based on estimates and forecasts gathered from numerous sources. Stay tuned as this graph changes over time and as our emissions projections change.
