Drawdown Georgia | Ollie Chapman

Inspired by Project Drawdown, Drawdown Georgia is building a movement to accelerate progress toward net-zero greenhouse gas emissions. Ollie Chapman is currently a student at Georgia Tech studying Public Policy with an emphasis on energy and the environment. For the past year, he has been working with Dr. Marilyn Brown on Drawdown Georgia, developing ways to reduce Georgia's carbon footprint beneficially and equitably. During his time at Georgia Tech, he co-authored an article with Dr. Brown, "Demand Response as a Carbon Reduction Policy: Evidence from the Southeastern U.S. State of Georgia." In today’s episode, Ollie is going to talk about the mission of Drawdown Georgia, discuss which solutions are the most beneficial when it comes to Georgia’s role in the fight against climate change, and provide advice for other college students on participating in research and working with professors.
