Drawdown Georgia at a Glance
Goal: Reduce CO2 emissions in
Georgia to 69 megatons by 2030, an
anticipated 43% reduction
Funding by Ray C Anderson Foundation
Founding partners of Georgia Climate Project
The Georgia Institute of Technology
University of Georgia
Emory University
Georgia State University
Statewide initiative including
All companies based in Georgia
All municipalities in Georgia
All climate groups and nonprofits.
All community & business leaders,
policy makers, advocates, innovators, entrepreneurs, and officials in Georgia.
Drawdown Georgia is the first state-centered effort to crowdsolve for climate change with solutions that are tailored to Georgia’s unique natural, economic, and social resources.
Georgia’s problem is simple—the state emits 125 megatons of CO2 per year, and their goal is to reduce their carbon impact to 69 megatons by 2030. Inspired by Project Drawdown, they will accelerate CO2 reduction by providing a "big tent" where all climate groups, all companies, all municipalities, all communities and all groups working on Georgia’s economic, environmental and social future can come together, work together and move us farther, faster.
Drawdown Georgia is using the Groopit Crowdsolving Platform to accomplish their ambitious goals.
Addressing climate change requires contributions from everyone – cities, counties, businesses, industry, activists, advocates and leaders of all type. Groopit’s Crowdsolving Platform allows us to engage all of the constituent groups across the state and collect the exact data we need for analysis and reporting.

Success highlights using Groopit to reduce CO2 Emissions
Real-time statewide view of all climate change projects. Identifying projects used to be a manual, time consuming process. Groopit delivers a real-time, statewide view so everyone can see every project underway.
Extended team involved in problem-solving. Before Groopit, solving problems fell to the dedicated few. Groopit makes it easy for Georgians to identify challenges, so people with related experience, expertise, or energy can step up proactively to find solutions.
Measure leading indicators of progress and results. It used to be hard to see progress. Now crowdsolvers across the state can report progress big and small, so progress can be tracked and the community can cheer each other on.
Builds statewide momentum with local affinity groups. Companies, municipalities, universities, and nonprofits can lead their own initiatives, and help build statewide momentum by leveraging Drawdown Georgia Crowdsolving for affinity groups.
