What is the Georgia Climate Conference?

Hosted by the Georgia Climate Project, the 2019 Georgia Climate Conference will bring together nearly 400 leaders and experts from the publc, private, non-profit, and academic sectors to collaborate, raise awareness of work across the state, highlight progress, and identify opportunities to do more. We want to better understand: 1. What does a changing climate mean for Georgia? 2. What can we do about it?
