Marilyn BrownThe Drawdown Georgia research team, headed by Marilyn Brown, Regents' and Brook Byers Professor of Sustainable Systems in the School of Public Policy, was featured in "Drawdown Georgia Shows 50% Reduction in Carbon Emissions Possible by 2030," published August 2, 2021, in SaportaReport.
The article focuses on how Georgia could curb carbon emissions by 50% in 2030, compared to 2005 levels, if the state adopted 20 solutions previously identified by Drawdown Georgia scientists.
“Georgia can show the rest of the country how to scale key regional solutions that reduce carbon footprints in a way that is also friendly to the economy. These solutions also advance the public health, as well as equity in under-resourced communities," Brown said.
