A group of Georgia businesses is coming together to work on climate change. The project, called the Drawdown Georgia Business Compact, launches this month.

The 15 founding members of the project are big and small companies in Georgia, including Coca-Cola, Delta Air Lines, Norfolk Southern and Goodr, which is a local company working on hunger and food waste.

The businesses will collaborate with each other, said Michael Oxman, managing director at the Ray C. Anderson Center for Sustainable Business at Georgia Tech, which is behind the project.
