When it comes to climate action, Georgia isn’t just setting targets — it’s building the infrastructure to reach them.

Led by the Ray C. Anderson Center for Sustainable Business at Georgia Tech, the Drawdown Georgia Business Compact brings together companies, nonprofits, and academic institutions to drive collaborative climate action across seven key areas — from electricity and transportation to food, land use, and more.

From the start, the Compact’s leadership knew that realizing this vision would require more than commitment — it would require a system to connect the ecosystem, surface opportunities, and track collective progress.

That’s where Metaimpact was able to help.

And the impact is now extending beyond the Compact. In 2023, the Georgia Climate Project partnered with Metaimpact to bring Drawdown Georgia Higher Education into the same shared infrastructure — enabling colleges and universities across the state to track emissions goals, collaborate on sustainability projects, and accelerate cross-campus learning.

Now, both the Compact and the higher ed network operate inside Metaimpact — creating a connected ecosystem where businesses, nonprofits, and academic institutions can move faster together.

In our latest case study, see how Metaimpact is supporting this collective push toward a net-zero Georgia:
→ Projects, metrics, and member initiatives are now organized in one shared space
→ Members can discover each other’s capabilities, share resources, and form new partnerships
→ Higher ed institutions collaborate inside the same system — aligning climate goals and sharing what works across campuses
