Welcome to the Cobb County Climate Vulnerability Assessment | Fall 2022 Sustainable Cities Studio
​
​
​
We are Georgia Tech students enrolled in the Sustainable Cities Studio with Professor Jairo Garcia. Our goal is to determine the climate vulnerabilities in Cobb County. We also analyze the county’s climate resilience with a focus on local assets and the intersections between environmental, economic, and social issues. Based on this assessment, we propose solutions to address some of these vulnerability factors. Learn more about our project & partners, our findings, and our GIS mapping here!
Community Partners
We have partnered with members of the community to provide insight into programs in the county and points that need to be improved. We are currently working with Kimberly White, director of Keep Cobb Beautiful, Rebecca Watts Hull, member of Serve-Learn-Sustain, and Matt Stigall, Cobb County sustainable transportation advocate.
