Drawdown Georgia Solutions Tracker

The Drawdown Georgia Solutions Tracker provides data about our progress on scaling 16 of the 20 Drawdown Georgia climate solutions in Georgia at a county level. The interactive dashboard for each solution with two maps: the map on the left features data on the prevalence of the chosen variable by county, and the map on the right features data on a comparison variable chosen by the Drawdown Georgia research team for its relevance to the uptake of the selected solution. The Solutions Tracker was developed by the Climate and Energy Policy Lab in the Georgia Tech School of Public Policy, with funding from The Ray C. Anderson Foundation.

What is the Gini Coefficient? How Can We Track Equity in Georgia Climate Solutions?

In addition to understanding where specific climate solutions are scaling, the Solutions tracker examines markers of equity in comparison to the prevalence of each solution. Markers of equity matter because they recognize that not everyone starts from the same place and that some of us require adjustments to imbalances, rather than simply providing equal resources. These markers include:

The Tracker also provides a Gini coefficient for each solution. The Gini coefficient measures inequality within a group or country. It ranges from 0 to 1, where 0 means complete equality (everyone shares the benefits equally) and 1 means complete inequality (one person has all the benefits, and everyone else has none). A lower Gini coefficient suggests a more equal distribution of benefits, while a higher one indicates greater inequality.
